This is a muscle tissue, specifically a skeletal muscle, viewed under high power objective. Skeletal muscle contains very long, multi-nucleated cells with cross-striations. Such muscle type is also known as “voluntary muscle” or “striated muscle”. The skeletal muscle maintains posture and control movement that’s why it mainly attaches to the skeletal system via tendons. Their contraction is quick, forceful and usually under voluntary control.
