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.
Do skeletal muscle fibers contain sarcomeres whereas smooth muscle fibers do not?
true
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.
Tendons are bundles of collagen fibers at the end of a skeletal muscle that?
That attaches muscle to bone.
What kind of muscle contains cylindrical cells with branching ends?
Skeletal muscle tissueVoluntary or skeletal muscles contains long non branching cylindrical cells.
What is a group of skeletal muscle fibers?
A skeletal muscle
Is skeletal muscle made of muscle fibers?
Basically, yes. All muscle (skeletal, cardiac and smooth) are made of muscle fibers.
A skeletal muscle fiber contains many nuclei?
Skeletal muscle fibers contain numerous nuclei. This is used to produce large amounts of the enzymes and structural proteins needed for muscle contraction.
What type of muscle fibers are there?
You have three types of muscle fibers. 1) Skeletal muscle fibers. 2) Cardiac muscle fibers. 3) Smooth muscle fibers.

True or false smooth muscle fibers are located in small skeletal muscles?
smooth muscle fibers are located in small skeletal muscle
The delicate connective tisssue that surrounds the skeletal muscle fibers and ties adjacent muscle fibers together is the?
The delicate connective tissue that surrounds the skeletal muscle fibers and ties adjacent muscle fibers together is the endomysium.
Do Skeletal muscle fibers tend to be shorter than smooth muscle fibers?

Do skeletal muscle fibers contain sarcomeres whereas smooth muscle fibers do not?
true
What are the bundles of muscle fibers within a skeletal muscle?
fascicle
