contract to produce movement, sustain body posture and position, maintain body temperature, store nutrients, and stabilize joints.
generate heat to cool the body, produce sound, regulate hormone levels, absorb shock, and filter toxins.

Explanation:

Skeletal muscles contract to enable movement. They help in maintaining body posture and position. They are also involved in generating heat to maintain body - temperature, storing nutrients, and stabilizing joints. Absorbing nutrients, filtering toxins, regulating hormones, producing sound are not primary functions of skeletal muscles.
