Document Summary
Skeletal and muscular systems work as a cooperative unit. Help s maintain homeostasis by generating the most internal heat for your body. Stores and releases minerals such as calcium. Calcium is required for skeletal muscle contraction. The skeleton holds the body together while muscles enable movement. All human skeletal muscles have a similar function and structure. They contract or get shorter to produce movement. Exercise- makes bones more dense and muscles more lean. Bones are held together by joints and ligaments, provide movement between the bones. Q:which of the following is a function of the skeletal muscles. Q:which of the following functions applies to muscle. Compact bone- usually occurs at the outer edges of the bone is composed of many individual osteons. Osteons( bone matrix) are concentric rings of cone laid by osteocytes. Spongy- bone usually forms within the deeper portions of the bone, providing inner support.
