Hi Mimi9758,

Keep in mind that when speaking of muscle (I'm assuming in a mammal) there are three types:

skeletal muscle
smooth muscle
cardiac muscle

skeletal muscle is under voluntary control, smooth muscle in under autonomic control, and cardiac muscle is under the control of the pace-maker cells of the sinoatrial (SA) or the atrioventricular (AV) node

So, marching down through these:

A) moves food and substances through the GI tract - this would be SMOOTH muscle

B) helps maintain body posture - this would be SKELETAL muscle

C) promotes the flow of lymph - tricky... this would also be the SKELETAL muscles: contraction of skeletal muscles "squeezes" the fluid in the lymphatics, which ultimately drain into the venous system

D) moves the bones of the skeleton: this would be SKELETAL muscle

E: helps to adjust blood vessel diameter: this would be SMOOTH muscle

So, the correct answers would be: B, C, and D

Hope this helps!

Good luck

Fossils are the preserved remains of life found in rocks. Most fossils are used in relative dating of rocks.

  • Dinosaurs are extinct organisms that once lived in the Mesozoic. This was about 100 million years ago.
  • Tool man also grazed the surface of the earth just a few thousands to a million years.
  • We are able to find their fossils in rocks because they have lived in some certain geologic periods.
  • Here we are using the fossils to date the rock and this is called relative dating
