The function that is not associated with the muscular system is producing blood cells.
The primary functions of the muscular system include:
- Open/closing openings: Muscles can control the movement of substances in and out of the body.
- Support body posture: Muscles help maintain posture by stabilizing the body.
- Producing heat: Muscle contractions generate heat, which helps maintain body temperature.
On the other hand, the production of blood cells occurs primarily in the bone marrow, which is a function of the skeletal system.
