Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the function of skeletal muscle?
A
absorbs protein, helps digest food, make energy
B
support, sends out signals to the body, body movement
C
body movement, maintenance of posture, temp regulation, storage and movement of materials, support
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Skeletal muscle tissue forms skeletal muscles. The best-known feature of skeletal muscle is its ability to contract and cause movement. Skeletal muscles act not only to produce movement but also to stop movement, such as resisting gravity to maintain posture.

Detailed explanation-2: -Skeletal muscles contribute to maintaining temperature homeostasis in the body by generating heat. Muscle contraction requires energy and produces heat as a byproduct of metabolism.

Detailed explanation-3: -Posture, such as sitting and standing, is maintained as a result of muscle contraction. The skeletal muscles are continually making fine adjustments that hold the body in stationary positions. The tendons of many muscles extend over joints and in this way contribute to joint stability.

Detailed explanation-4: -Skeletal muscle fibers are organized into groups called fascicles. Blood vessels and nerves enter the connective tissue and branch in the cell. Muscles attach to bones directly or through tendons or aponeuroses. Skeletal muscles maintain posture, stabilize bones and joints, control internal movement, and generate heat.
