Summary Introduction
To review:
The main myofilaments in the skeletal muscle.
Introduction:
The skeletal muscles are the elongated muscles. These muscle cells are also called muscle fibers. These muscle fibers get packaged into the skeletal muscle’s organs. The skeletal muscle fibers are multinucleated, huge, and cigar-shaped cells. These muscle fibers possess the striations and are under the conscious control. These skeletal muscle fibers are called the voluntary muscles.
