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: -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-3: -Skeletal muscles contribute to the maintenance of homeostasis in the body by generating heat. Muscle contraction requires energy, and when ATP is broken down, heat is produced.
Detailed explanation-4: -Skeletal muscles are also responsible for generating heat in the body to maintain body temperature and help regulate blood sugar levels.
