Skeletal muscle is one of the three types of muscle and it is a structure of a striated muscle tissue. The muscle is made up of myocytes or muscle fibers.

What do you call the stripes across a skeletal muscle cell?
Striations
Which type of muscle tissue contains striations?
Striations are cause by pooling of blood after death in the direction of where the body originally was before being moved.My answer would be....The arrangement of myofilaments(actin/ myosin) on a myofibril produce the striations of a skeletal muscle cell . Also myofibrils align to give distinct bands. :)Hope that helps :D
Does the arrangement of myofilaments produces the striation of a skeletal muscle cell?
Yes.
What are facts about a skeletal muscle cell?
A skeletal muscle cell is a cell of a skeletal muscle.
What is the difference between skeletal and other muscles?
Skeletal muscle is voluntary muscle that moves bones. It has long cells with striations and it is sometimes called striated muscle. Smooth muscle is slow moving, and is not controlled by the mind. It is also has the same functional units as skeletal muscle but it is harder to see. The last is cardiac muscle. This also has striations but they are short rather than long. This muscle is said to be autorhythmic. Each cell can beat on its' own and as a group, they beat together.
Striations of skeletal muscle are produced by?
Skeletal Muscle (as well as Cardiac Muscle) have striations do to their sarcomere's anatomy. The sarcomere is the functional unit of the muscle and appears striated because the different thick and thin filaments present.
What does it mean if a muscle is striated?
Striated muscle includes cardiac muscle and skeletal muscle. Cardiac muscle is found only in the heart. Skeletal muscle is between bones and is voluntarily controlled. Examples of skeletal muscle are the sternoclydomastoid, biceps, obicularis oris, rectus femoris, etc.
What are the different types of muscle fibers?
There are different types of muscle fibers. There is skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle and smooth muscle. * Skeletal muscle is attached to bones or occasionally skin. * Cardiac muscle is found in the walls of the heart. * Smooth muscle is mostly found in the walls of hollow organs such as the intestines I am currently studying anatomy and physiology at University for my nursing degree.There are three muscle Types: Skeletal, Smooth and Cardiac.All muscle cells are elongated and are called muscle fibers. Muscle contraction depends on two kinds of myofilaments (actin and myosin). The cell membrane of a muscle cell is called "sarcolemma", while the cytoplasm of a muscle cell is called "sarcoplasm".Skeletal muscle characteristics: long, thin and multi-nucleated fiber with striations, voluntary control; arranged into packages called muscles that attach to and cover the bony skeleton; contracts rapidly & vigorously, but tired easily; may exert great force.Cardiac muscle characteristics: network of branched fibers connected by gap junctions (intercalated disks); only in heart; also have striations; involuntary control; contracts at rhythmic, steady rate set by "pacemaker".Smooth muscle characteristics: lacks striations; walls of hollow visceral organs and blood vessels; involuntary control, contractions are slow & sustained.
Is Sketel Muscle an plant cell or a animal cell?
A skeletal muscle is an animal cell.
Which muscle tissue has several nuclei per cell?
Smooth muscle tissue
What is each skeletal muscle cell known as?
straited muscle
Who has more nuclei per cell skeletal muscle or cardiac muscle?
which has more nuclei per cell skeletal muscle or cardiac muscle? I guess that they both have the same number of nuclei.
