Detailed explanation-1: -Final answer: The production of body heat is not a function of the skeletal system.
Detailed explanation-2: -Body Temperature All types of muscle produce heat, but because of the large amount of skeletal muscle present in the body, skeletal muscle contributes most greatly to heat production. This is very noticeable during exercise, when sustained muscle movement causes body temperature to rise.
Detailed explanation-3: -Option D:production of body heat: The skeleton serves six major functions: support, movement, protection, production of blood cells, storage of minerals and endocrine regulations. Hence, production of body heat is not a function of the skeletal system. Thus, the answer is option D:Production of body heat.
