Question 22 • GA-Personal Fitness

All of the following statements are true concerning skeletal muscles EXCEPT:

Answer
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.

Explanation

Skeletal muscles are generally under voluntary control, so they do not control involuntary body functions such as digestion or heartbeat. They are controlled by the nervous system, move body parts, and are commonly attached to bones. Therefore, “Skeletal muscles control involuntary body functions” is the exception.
