Yes it does!
When our diet contains too few proteins and calories, the contractile proteins in skeletal muscles are broken down, and their amino acids released into the circulation. The liver can use some of these amino acids to synthesize glucose, and others can be broken down to provide energy.

Does the pituatary gland store glycogen?
No, glycogen is stored by the liver and skeletal muscle
Which one of the following can store the largest total amount of Glycogen in the human body?
Skeletal muscle
Skeletal muscle fibers differ from typical cells in that these muscle fibers?
Skeletal muscle fibers differ from typical cells in that these muscle fibers have many nuclei. The skeletal muscle store calcium ions in the sarcoplasmic reticulum.
Where do we have a small store of glycogen?
Glycogen is primarily stored in the liver as well as in skeletal muscle, kidney and heart. A single muscle cell therefore is also a small store of glycogen.
Cardiac muscle cells are like skeletal muscle cells in that?
Cardiac muscle cells are similar because they have striations which are strands of actin and myosin filaments. They also have mitochondria, transverse tubules, and sarcoplasmic reticulum.Cardiac muscle is different from skeletal muscle in that the muscle is branching, with intercalated dicks at the ends of them, store less calcium, the transverse tubules are larger, and their twitches are longer. Also, the entire cardiac muscle contracts as a whole, regulates itself, and is rhythmic.
Do some plants such as radishes and sweet potatoes store starch reserves in their stems?
No, they store starch reserves in their roots
What substance in muscle seems able to store oxygen temporarily?
Myoglobin is synthesized in cells and imparts the reddish-brown color of skeletal muscle tissue. Like hemoglobin, myoglobin can combine loosely with oxygen. This ability to temporarily store oxygen reduces a muscle's requirement for a continuous blood supply during muscular contraction.
Why do cells need to synthesize new organic components?
Anabolism: Four Basic Reasons 1. To carry out structural maintenance or repairs 2. To support growth 3. To produce secretions 4. To store nutrient reserves

How does skeletal system and digestive system?
cheater!lol The bones provide support, they work with the muscle to allow movement, they protet organs, store minerals, and produce blood cells.
The enlarged perpendicular chambers of the sarcoplasmic reticulum that store calcium ions lies adjacent to the t tubule at the you band and the a band interface of the skeletal muscle sarcomere?
It is the terminal cisternae
What organ systems is used to store excess minerals?
Skeletal system :)
