Question

all of the following statements are true concerning skeletal muscles except:
a. skeletal muscles control involuntary body functions.
b. skeletal muscles are controlled by the central nervous system.
c. skeletal muscles are used to move large body parts.
d. skeletal muscles are attached to the bones.
please select the best answer from the choices provided.
a
b
c
d

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Skeletal muscles are voluntary, meaning they are under conscious control. Involuntary functions (like heart beating, digestion) are controlled by smooth or cardiac muscles. So this statement is false.
• Option B: Skeletal muscles are controlled by the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord), which is true as we can consciously move them.
• Option C: Skeletal muscles attach to bones and are used for moving large body parts (like arms, legs), which is true.
• Option D: Skeletal muscles are attached to bones via tendons, which is a known anatomical fact.

Answer:

A. Skeletal muscles control involuntary body functions.
