Chapter 9 Skeletal and Smooth Muscle (Cody Mon Review)

Which of the following accurately describes a function of skeletal muscle?

• Skeletal muscles facilitate movement by contracting and pulling on tendons attached to bones.

• Skeletal muscles are solely responsible for generating body heat through metabolic processes.

• The primary function of skeletal muscles is to store nutrients for the body.

• Skeletal muscles support posture by contracting to keep the body in an upright position only during vigorous activity.

Which of the following is a primary function of skeletal muscle related to maintaining body position?

• Regulating body temperature by generating heat
