MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Skeletal muscle fibers occur in muscles which are attached to the skeleton. They are striated in appearance and are under voluntary control.

Detailed explanation-2: -Unlike smooth muscle and cardiac muscle, skeletal muscle is under voluntary control. Similar to cardiac muscle, however, skeletal muscle is striated; its long, thin, multinucleated fibres are crossed with a regular pattern of fine red and white lines, giving the muscle a distinctive appearance.

Detailed explanation-3: -They are called voluntary muscles because their action is under the control of the somatic nervous system and their movement can be controlled by us (Eg: Bicep muscles), unlike as in the case of involuntary muscles (Eg: cardiac muscles). The muscle fibers of striated muscles are multinucleated and cylindrical.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cardiac muscle (heart muscle) Skeletal muscle (muscle attached to the skeleton)
