Answer to Question 1

1. Muscles are responsible for movement. The types of movement are locomotion, propulsion of substances through tubes as in circulation and digestion, and changes in the size of openings as in the contraction and relaxation of the iris of the eye.
2. Muscles help to maintain posture through a continual partial contraction of skeletal muscles. This process is known as tonicity.
3. Muscles help to produce heat through the chemical changes involved in muscular action.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE
Explanation: The suffix in aphagia means to eat or to swallow.
