Learn about the major skeletal muscle functions. Deepen your knowledge of the structure of skeletal muscle, the characteristics of skeletal muscle,...
The terminal arterioles perfuse the capillaries located in the endomysium; this part of the skeletal muscle structure is termed the microvascular unit. Embryology Somites are segmental axial structures of mesoderm. The ventral part of a somite is termed the sclerotome, contributing to the ...

Skeletal muscle has a specialized structure due to its distinctive function. Skeletal muscle fibers (muscle cells) have cross-band appearance because of the intracellular contractile proteins called the myofilaments. Bundles of thick and thin myofilaments form myofibrils; bundles of myofibrils form musc...
It is characterized by abnormalities in skeletal muscle structure and function, including muscle atrophy, a shift from type I to type II fibers, metabolic dysfunction, impaired excitation-contraction coupling, and decreased muscle contractility which, in combination, play a major role in shortness of...
Skeletal muscle fibres are bound together by connective tissue and communicate with nerves and blood vessels. For more information on the structure and function of skeletal muscle, see muscle and muscle system, human. This article was most recently revised and updated by Adam Augustyn....
