MUSCLE PHYSIOLOGY

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: -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-3: -skeletal muscle. skeletal muscle, also called voluntary muscle, in vertebrates, most common of the three types of muscle in the body. Skeletal muscles are attached to bones by tendons, and they produce all the movements of body parts in relation to each other.

Detailed explanation-4: -The main functions of skeletal muscle are to contract to produce movement, sustain body posture and position, maintain body temperature, store nutrients, and stabilize joints.
