Understand the primary functions of muscles in the human body. Muscles are responsible for generating heat, producing movement, and maintaining posture.
Generating heat: Muscles produce heat as a byproduct of their activity, which helps maintain body temperature.
Producing movement: Muscles contract and relax to create movement, allowing us to perform various physical activities.
Maintaining posture: Muscles help stabilize joints and maintain posture by providing support to the skeletal system.
Recognize that storing calcium is not a function of muscles. Calcium storage is primarily a function of bones, not muscles.
