What is the function of skeletal muscle fiber?
A
maintain posture
B
stabilize bones and joints
C
control internal movement
D
keep your heart pumping through involuntary movements
E
generate heat
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Muscle contraction requires energy, and when ATP is broken down, heat is produced. This heat is very noticeable during exercise, when sustained muscle movement causes body temperature to rise, and in cases of extreme cold, when shivering produces random skeletal muscle contractions to generate heat.

Detailed explanation-2: -All organisms with skeletal muscle have an inherent ability to generate heat.

Detailed explanation-3: -The heat released during skeletal muscle contraction can increase both body and tissue temperatures such that muscle temperatures of 44 °C have been reported in trained rats run to exhaustion (Brooks et al. 1971).

Detailed explanation-4: -One of the important functions of skeletal muscle contraction is production of heat. True or False? The provided statement is true. Skeletal muscles are those muscles that are connected to the bones of the body and help in generating movement of various body parts.
