What is the role of muscles in control and coordination?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: They show movement or response after receiving messages
In a coordinated response, a receptor detects a stimulus and the nervous system sends a message to an effector. Muscles act as effectors: after receiving the message, they contract or relax, producing movement or another physical response. They do not make food, form blood as their sole function, or only produce hormones. Thus, option A correctly describes their role.
