Skeletal tissue is one of the three types of muscle tissues. This tissues are striated and are attached to the skeleton.

Skeletal or striated muscle is called voluntary because willed or voluntary control of skeletal muscle contractions is possible. When viewed under a microscope, skeletal muscle is characterized by many cross striations and many nuclei per cell. Individual cells are long and threadlike and are often called fibers. Skeletal muscles are attached to bones and when contracted produce voluntary and controlled body movements.
