Final answer:

The muscular system produces body heat by contracting and generating heat as a byproduct.


Step-by-step explanation:

The muscular system is responsible for producing body heat.

When muscles contract, they generate heat as a byproduct of the process. This heat helps to maintain body temperature and keep us warm.

For example, shivering is a reflexive muscle contraction that occurs when the body is cold. This rapid contraction and relaxation of muscles generates heat and helps to warm up the body.
