Well, a skeletal muscle really has nothing to do with a skeleton, so don't listen to what that person says. Anyway, these muscles are attached to bones (either directly or by tendons). They are found all over your body, too. They are considered volintary (meaning you are capeable of moving them) even though blinking and breathing are involintary (not capeable of moving, they move by themselves) . Skeletal muscles are striated (a cool scientific word for "striped"). Skeletal muscle always work in pairs (one flexor and one extensor). A flexor bends the joint and the extensor straightens it. Skeletal muscles move bones by pulling on the bones. Keep in mind that THEY DO NOT PUSH!!!! So, uh, that's it. Really that's all I can do to answer your question, so, good luck with whatever you needed the information for.
