MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The main functions of skeletal muscle are to contract to produce movement, sustain body posture and position, maintain body temperature, store nutrients, and stabilize joints.

Detailed explanation-2: -Skeletal muscles are also responsible for generating heat in the body to maintain body temperature and help regulate blood sugar levels.

Detailed explanation-3: -Heat production, to maintain body temperature, is an important by-product of muscle metabolism. Nearly 85 percent of the heat produced in the body is the result of muscle contraction.

Detailed explanation-4: -Temperature is widely recognized as an important determinant of skeletal muscle function (6, 30). The main effect of heating is to alter the force-velocity and, consequently, the power-velocity relationship, such that maximum power output is increased (10).

Detailed explanation-5: -Movement. Skeletal muscles pull on the bones causing movements at the joints. Support. Muscles of the body wall support the internal organs. Protection. Heat generation. Blood circulation.
