Verified step by step guidance

Understand the primary functions of skeletal muscle tissue. Skeletal muscles are responsible for producing movement, maintaining posture, and generating heat through contraction.

Recognize that skeletal muscle tissue is not involved in storing calcium. Calcium storage is primarily a function of the bones, specifically within the bone matrix.

Consider the role of the sarcoplasmic reticulum in muscle cells, which temporarily stores calcium ions to facilitate muscle contraction, but this is not the same as long-term calcium storage.

Differentiate between the functions of muscle tissue and bone tissue. Muscle tissue is involved in movement and heat generation, while bone tissue is involved in structural support and mineral storage, including calcium.

Identify the correct answer by eliminating the functions that are indeed performed by skeletal muscle tissue, leaving 'storing calcium' as the function not performed by skeletal muscle tissue.
