<speciesfyi-glossary slug="muscular-system"></speciesfyi-glossary>Definition
The organ system responsible for body movement, posture maintenance, and heat generation through muscle contraction.
Detailed Explanation
Vertebrate muscles are classified by structure and control: skeletal muscle is striated and voluntary; smooth muscle lines organs and is involuntary; cardiac muscle is striated and autonomous. Muscles work in antagonistic pairs — when biceps contract, triceps relax. Shivering is involuntary skeletal muscle contraction that generates heat, directly linking the muscular and thermoregulatory systems.
