Each fiber is actually a muscle cell. They are found in bundles that form what we call muscles. These are also called skeletal muscles because when they contract and get shorter, the bones that they are attached to, move. And the bones are part of the skeletal system.

Why are skeletal muscle fibers unusual?

The skeletal muscle, or striated muscle, is the muscle attached to the skeleton. Most skeletal muscles are attached to bones by bundles of collagen fibers known as tendons. The contraction of skeletal muscle is under voluntary control.


Is skeletal muscle made of muscle fibers?

Basically, yes. All muscle (skeletal, cardiac and smooth) are made of muscle fibers.

How are smoothe muscle cells different from skeletal muscle fibers?

Smooth muscle cells are involuntary and non-striated, meaning they lack the distinct banding pattern seen in skeletal muscle fibers. Unlike skeletal muscle fibers, which are multi-nucleated and have a cylindrical shape, smooth muscle cells are spindle-shaped and typically contain a single nucleus. Additionally, smooth muscle is found in the walls of hollow organs and is responsible for involuntary movements, while skeletal muscle is primarily responsible for voluntary movements and is attached to bones.


Do Skeletal muscle fibers tend to be shorter than smooth muscle fibers?
