A
Maintaining posture
B
Producing movement
C
Generating heat
D
Storing calcium
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the primary functions of skeletal muscles: Skeletal muscles are responsible for movement, maintaining posture, and generating heat through muscle contractions.
Recognize that skeletal muscles are not involved in storing calcium. Calcium storage is primarily a function of bones, not muscles.
Review the role of bones in the body: Bones store calcium and other minerals, which are essential for various bodily functions, including muscle contraction.
Differentiate between the roles of muscles and bones: Muscles facilitate movement and posture, while bones provide structure and store minerals.
Conclude that storing calcium is not a function of skeletal muscles, as this is a role fulfilled by the skeletal system (bones).
