Skeletalmusculature, also known as voluntary or striated muscle, is a type of muscle tissue that is attached to bones and is responsible for voluntary movements. It is found throughout the body, with the largest concentration being in the limbs. Skeletal muscle is characterized by its striated appearance under a microscope, which is due to the arrangement of its contractile proteins, actin and myosin.
Skeletal muscle fibers are long, cylindrical cells that are multinucleated, meaning they contain multiple nuclei. This
Skeletal muscle contraction occurs when an action potential travels along the sarcolemma and triggers the release
Skeletal muscle is innervated by motor neurons, which transmit signals from the central nervous system to the
Skeletal muscle plays a crucial role in various physiological functions, including locomotion, posture, and manipulation of
