These control the contractions of your heart.

Detailed explanation-2: -Skeletal muscle is specialized for rapid and forceful contraction of short duration. Skeletal muscle cells contain similar components and structures as other cells but different terms are used to describe those components and structure in skeletal muscle cells.
