Those functions are part of the memory manager (MM). Some MM have higly optimized memory copy operation (i.e realloc: if the source is overlapped with the dest...using SSE or MMX registers... etc).
Hmm I don't get what they have to do with the memory manager. The memory manager is responsible for allocating the blocks, it doesn't actually alter the blocks (or ever need to) in any way... it's just bookkeeping. memcpy is pretty independent of the memory manager.
