Generally, skeletal muscles are striated, long, and cylindrical. In addition, this type of muscle has more than one nucleus, mainly due to the fact that they emerge courtesy of the combination of embryonic myoblasts (Mukund & Subramaniam, 2020). The cells found within skeletal muscles consume high amounts of energy, and as such, have numerous mitochondria to facilitate the generation of requisite amounts of ATP energy. The muscle is able to stay attached to a person’s bones courtesy of the existing tendons within a particular location where they are situated. Skeletal muscles can be as long as thirty centimeters; however, they are more often than not two to three centimeters long (Mukund & Subramaniam, 2020).
