MT30-Histology Art AB 3 years, 7 months ago Skeletal Muscle TissueSkeletal muscle is the most common and widely distributed muscle tissue, accounting for roughly 40% of the body’s total weight. It is in the eyes, throat, diaphragm, and anus and creates all skeletal muscles, like the biceps brachii and gluteus maximus.
Volunteer, striated, non-branched, multinucleated skeletal muscle tissue cells For this reason, it is known as voluntary muscle.
Microscopically, skeletal muscle cells have striped light and dark regions. These stripes are caused by actin and myosin proteins forming myofibrils in cells. Myofibrils are responsible for the skeletal muscles’ incredible strength and ability to push and pull the body.
