Question
function of the skeletal muscle
which is a function of skeletal muscle?
moves substances within a tube (example: peristalsis)
pumps blood from the heart into the blood vessels
moves bones and the skin of the face
moves blood in blood vessels
Skeletal muscles are attached to bones. When they contract, they cause bones to move. Facial expressions are also created by the contraction of skeletal muscles attached to the skin of the face. Peristalsis is a function of smooth muscle (in tubes like the digestive tract). Pumping blood from the heart is the function of cardiac muscle. Moving blood in blood vessels (through processes like venous return assistance) is not the primary and most direct function compared to moving bones and facial skin.
