Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A ____ is a single muscle cell.
A
myofilament
B
myofibril
C
muscle fasciculus
D
whole skeletal muscle
E
muscle fiber
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Each skeletal muscle fiber is a single cylindrical muscle cell. An individual skeletal muscle may be made up of hundreds, or even thousands, of muscle fibers bundled together and wrapped in a connective tissue covering.

Detailed explanation-2: -Each muscle is made up of groups of muscle fibers called fascicles surrounded by a connective tissue layer called perimysium. Multiple units of individual muscle fibers within each fascicle are surrounded by endomysium, a connective tissue sheath.

Detailed explanation-3: -Skeletal muscle is a complex heterogeneous tissue consisting of multinucleated muscle fibers, immune cells, endothelial cells, muscle stem cells (satellite cells), non-myogenic mesenchymal progenitors (e.g., fibro-adipogenic progenitors, or FAPs), and other mononuclear cells1.

Detailed explanation-4: -Muscle tissue contains something called muscle fibers. Muscle fibers consist of a single muscle cell. They help to control the physical forces within the body. When grouped together, they can facilitate organized movement of your limbs and tissues.

Detailed explanation-5: -Skeletal muscle cells are the individual contractile cells within a muscle and are more usually known as muscle fibers because of their longer threadlike appearance.
