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 is attached by cord-like tendons to bone, such as in the legs, arms, and face. Skeletal muscles are called striated (pronounced: STRY-ay-ted) because they are made up of fibers that have horizontal stripes when viewed under a microscope.
Detailed explanation-3: -Typically a muscle spans a joint and is attached to bones by tendons at both ends. One of the bones remains relatively fixed or stable while the other end moves as a result of muscle contraction. Skeletal muscles have an abundant supply of blood vessels and nerves.
Detailed explanation-4: -Tendons connect muscles to other structures, such as the eyeball. Tendons are vital in movement because they carry the muscle contraction force to the bone they are attached to. Tendons help to keep the joints in place.
