What do skeletel muscles contain?

Skeletal muscles contain muscle fibers, which are long, cylindrical cells that are multinucleated and striated due to the organization of actin and myosin filaments. They also contain connective tissue, blood vessels, and nerves, which supply nutrients and facilitate movement. Additionally, skeletal muscles have specialized structures called tendons that attach them to bones, enabling voluntary movement of the skeletal system.

What is the supporting layer for the skin that contains adipose tissue and loose connective tissue?

The layer you are referring to is the subcutaneous tissue, also known as the hypodermis or superficial fascia. This layer contains adipose tissue (fat cells) and loose connective tissue that connects the skin to the underlying muscles and bones, providing insulation and cushioning for the body.
