APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Skeletal muscles comprise 30 to 40% of your total body mass. They’re the muscles that connect to your bones and allow you to perform a wide range of movements and functions. Skeletal muscles are voluntary, meaning you control how and when they work.

Detailed explanation-2: -Skeletal muscles are attached to the skeleton by tough connective tis sues calle d tendons(see Figure above). Many skeletal muscles are attached to the ends of bones that meet at a joint. The muscles span the joint and connect the bones. When the muscles contract, they pull on the bones, causing them to move.

Detailed explanation-3: -Skeletal muscle, attached to bones, is responsible for skeletal movements. The peripheral portion of the central nervous system (CNS) controls the skeletal muscles. Thus, these muscles are under conscious, or voluntary, control.

Detailed explanation-4: -Skeletal muscles are under our conscious control, which is why they are also known as voluntary muscles.

Detailed explanation-5: -Skeletal muscle, which attaches to the bones and provides voluntary movement.
