Skeletal Muscle Cells
Masters of Movement and Force
Skeletal muscle cells are remarkable for their unique characteristics. They are cylindrical, elongated, and multi-nucleated, specifically adapted for contraction and generating movement. These cells are striated due to their regular arrangement of actin and myosin filaments, enabling powerful and precise voluntary movements under nervous system control.
