MUSCLE PHYSIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The correct answer is a. Storing fat. The major functions of muscle tissues include promoting the movement of body structures, movement of blood throughout the body, stabilizing joints, and generating heat through contractions.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: Hematopoiesis is a function of the skeletal system. This is because in humans most blood cell development takes place in the marrow of the long bones such as the tibia and femur.

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.

Detailed explanation-4: -One of the most predominant characteristics of skeletal muscle tissue is its contractility and nearly all movement in the body is the result of muscle contraction. Four functions of muscle contraction are movement, posture, joint stability, and heat production.
