None of the above

Explanation / Answer

1. E) Insulin secretion: Insulin secreted by pancreas

Fuctions of muscles:

Stability: The skeletal muscle provide stability to body by supporting spine

Heat production: High metabolic rate of contracting muscle produce heat as byproduct. This helps body to maintain its temperature.

Control of openings: Sphincter muscle control opening. Example External anal sphincter

Movement: Skeletal muscle responsible for movement of organ
