GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Skeletal muscle – the specialised tissue that is attached to bones and allows movement. Together, skeletal muscles and bones are called the musculoskeletal system (also known as the locomotor system).

Detailed explanation-2: -Bones shape our body and help us to stand up straight. Muscles are attached to bones; they help us walk and run and smile. All the bones in our body make up our skeleton – from the top of our skull to the tips of the phalanges at the end of our toes. Muscles stretch across our bones and are attached with tendons.

Detailed explanation-3: -Skeletal muscle is found throughout the body, attached to bones via tendons. It is also present in the tongue, diaphragm, eye socket, and upper esophagus.

Detailed explanation-4: -The three types of muscle fibres are slow oxidative (SO), fast oxidative (FO) and fast glycolytic (FG). Most skeletal muscles in a human contain(s) all three types, although in varying proportions.
