What are the three functions of muscles?
I think you meant the three types of muscles, because i couldnt find three functions anywhere. Types of muscles Different types of muscle respond, contract, and relax at different rates. Skeletal muscles are striated (have distinct bands) made up of fibres (long cells). The cells are multinucleated (many cell nuclei) and contract and relax quickly. These are voluntary muscles attached to the skeleton that help to move the bones. There are nearly 700 skeletal muscles spread all over the body. Visceral muscles are smooth and without banding. They have short fibres and single cell nuclei. These are involuntary muscles e.g. found in walls of blood vessels and viscera (organs in the abdominal cavity).
