Muscles and Movement 1: Skeletal Muscle

skeletal muscle is striated; its long, thin, multi-nucleated fibres are crossed with a regular pattern of fine red and white lines, giving the muscle its striated appearance

Skeletal muscles are attached to bones by tendons, and they produce all the movements of body.

Unlike smooth muscle and cardiac muscle, skeletal muscle is under voluntary control.

We can control them conciously!

Both Cardiac and Smooth Muscles are involuntarily controlled, meaning we have no conscious control over the movement of these muscles!
