Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Skeletal muscle is composed of cylindrical cells (muscle fibers) and is responsible for maintaining posture, among other functions. Smooth muscle is not composed of cylindrical cells and is not primarily involved in posture maintenance. Cardiac muscle is composed of branched cells and is primarily involved in pumping blood, not posture maintenance.
