Muscles serve several important functions in the body, including:

1. **Stability and movement of the body**: Muscles are responsible for enabling movement by contracting and relaxing, allowing us to walk, run, lift objects, and perform various physical activities. They also help stabilize joints and maintain posture.

2. **Heat production**: Muscles generate heat through metabolic processes, which helps regulate body temperature, particularly during physical activity.

3. **Support bodily functions**: Muscles play a role in essential functions such as respiration (diaphragm), digestion (smooth muscles in the digestive tract), and circulation (heart muscle).

While muscles do contribute to muscle tone and can be involved in relaxation, their primary roles are in movement, stability, and supporting various bodily functions.
