Skeletal Structures

Skeletal muscle is composed of elongated fibers with striations and is made of connective tissue. Muscle contraction occurs through the sliding of myosin and actin filaments, resulting in changes in the length of the muscle fibers. The process involves electrical excitation, calcium release, and the formation of cross-bridges, leading to muscle shortening or lengthening depending on the type of contraction.
