Muscle Structure and Function

Question 7 • Biology - SC3209 IC

How do the muscles help in thermoregulation?

Answer
A
Muscles produce oil that burns in the presence of oxygen.
B
Muscles undergo a chemical reaction that absorbs heat.
C
Muscles break down carbon dioxide, producing heat.
D
Muscles contract rapidly, producing heat.

Explanation

When you are cold, muscles can contract rapidly in shivering. These contractions use energy, and some of that energy is released as heat, helping warm the body. Muscles do not produce oil or break down carbon dioxide to regulate temperature.
