Detailed explanation-1: -Skeletal muscles are attached to bones by tendons, and they produce all the movements of body parts in relation to each other. Unlike smooth muscle and cardiac muscle, skeletal muscle is under voluntary control.

Detailed explanation-2: -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. The basic unit is the muscle fiber with many nuclei.

Detailed explanation-3: -Skeletal muscle is attached by cord-like tendons to bone, such as in the legs, arms, and face.

Detailed explanation-4: -Skeletal muscles are mostly attached to bones.

Detailed explanation-5: -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).
