Being multinucleated enables anything to synthesize more protein. Also we know that skeletal muscle fibres are much longer than that of any other muscle fibre, so it needs a huge amount of actin and myosin protein to bring about required contraction of a muscle, as actin and myosin crossbridge is required for muscle contraction. Thus it can be postulated that this boon of being multinucleated is essential for a skeletal muscle to posses adequate amounts of actin and myosin for muscle contraction.

Syncytium: (wiki):Large skeletal muscle fibers form by the fusion of thousands of myocytes. A syncytium occurs most simply when a cell divides without undergoing cytokinesis. Check out Wiki for: Myogenesis- during development, groups of embryonic cells fuse together to form a single muscle fiber. Janairo Hernandez
A muslce holds many bundles that consist of muslce fibres. A single muscle fibre contains myofibril which is composed of actin and myosin. A single muscle fibre is multi-nucleated and is a cylindrical cell. A single muscle fibre is also striated (streaks and stripes are present).
Myoblasts fuse into one large cellular structure which is the muscle fiber. Because each fiber forms from numerous myoblasts, it has many nuclei making it "multinucleated".
Skeletal muscles are multinucleated!
only skeletal muscle has a syncytial arrangement becausesyncytial means multinucleated and only skeletal muscle is multinucleated.
skeletal muscles
A skeletal muscle cell is a type of cell that is long, cylindrical, and striated in appearance. These cells are responsible for voluntary movement and are attached to bones by tendons. Skeletal muscle cells contract to generate force and movement in the body.

Steven Hawking has no muscles.
The number of cells depends on how large the muscle is; muscles consist of fiber bundles, which are made up of myofibrils. A sarcomere is one of the segments that the myofibril is divided into. In each fiber bundle there are multinucleate cells, which can extend the length of the skeletal muscle. So, the number of cells in a skeletal muscle depends on the size of the muscle. for example, the number of cells in one of our triceps larger than one of the small muscles in a finger.
Basically, yes. All muscle (skeletal, cardiac and smooth) are made of muscle fibers.
Skeletal muscle is made up of individual components known as muscle fibers. These fibers are formed from the fusion of developmental myoblasts (a type of embryonic progenitor cell that gives rise to a muscle cell). The myofibers (muscle fiber) are long, cylindrical, multinucleated cells composed of actin and myosinmyofibrils repeated as a sarcomere, the basic functional unit of the cell and responsible for skeletal muscle's striated appearance and forming the basic machinery necessary for muscle contraction. The term muscle refers to multiple bundles of muscle fibers held together by connective tissue. Wikipedia dude ...
Yeah. Osteoclasts are multinucleated and they work in bone resorption. Hepatocytes and some WBC (neutrophils and eosinophils) are also multinucleated.
You have three types of muscle fibers. 1) Skeletal muscle fibers. 2) Cardiac muscle fibers. 3) Smooth muscle fibers.
