Skeletal muscles are attached to bones which make up the skeleton. They are attached to the bones by tendons. The tendons are made out of tissues that run through the muscular tissue and come together at the end forming tendons. The major function of the skeletal muscles is movement. Contraction of the fibres (cells) in the skeletal muscle generates tension which is transmitted through the tendons. Pairs (or more) of muscles generating tension on the tendons will move the bone. Skeletal muscles are also used in the maintenance of posture as the muscles have to contract to keep the body up right. An other function is the by product of movement; heat. The heat produced during the contraction of muscles, is an important homeostatic mechanism as it helps to maintain the body's core temperature.
Hope this helps, have just finished a massive assignment on this subject!
Found in arms, legs, and where ever you can move, because that type of muscle makes us move.
Skeletal muscles move the body; referred to as ambulation.There are 4 primary functions of skeletal muscle:1. Movement2. Posture or muscle tone3. Support4. Heat regulation.

Skeletal muscle
A skeletal muscle cell is a cell of a skeletal muscle.
A skeletal muscle.
straited muscle are another form of skeletal muscle.
The skeletal muscle is heavily stratified
Yes, skeletal muscles are voluntary, meaning they can be intentionally controlled. This distinguishes them from the cardiac muscle (heart) and smooth muscles, which are involuntary.
Skeletal muscle is voluntary muscle.
