$2$. Posture Maintenance: Muscles maintain body posture and stabilize joints by providing constant tension.
$3$. Heat Production: Muscle contraction generates heat,which is essential for maintaining body temperature ($37^{\circ}C$ in humans).
$4$. Protection: Muscles provide a protective layer for internal organs and bones.
