Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is considered by biologists to be the energy currency of life. It is the high-energy molecule that stores the energy we need to do just about everything we do.
The basic function of muscle is to generate force. Secondarily, muscles can provide some shape and form to the organism. Anatomically and functionally, muscle can be divided into two types, smooth and striated. Striated or striped muscle can be further divided into skeletal muscle and cardiac (heart) muscle.
Solving the world's problems. . . one answer at a time. The functions of the muscular system are locomotion or mobility, strength, heat production, shock absorption, shaping the body, maintaining posture, and respiration. In addition it plays a role in the digestive process by peristalsis to move the food through.keletal muscles are attached to the bones allowing for movement. Smooth muscles line many of the bodies organs aiding in digestion. Smooth muscles line the walls of arteries, these regulate blood pressure. Lastly, cardiac muscle is what comprises the heart.
