EX 14 Skeletal Muscle Most numerous Voluntary Striated Gives you shape, allows for facial expressions, movement, and manipulation Cells of the Skeletal Muscle Long cylindrical cells called fibers Multinucleated Composed of myofibrils Myofilaments ○ Made of actin and myosin alternating to produce the banding pattern (I and A bands) Sacrolema- “plasma membrane” Sacroplasm- “cytoplasm” Skeletal Muscle Fibers Figure 10–2a The Formation of a Multinucleate Skeletal Muscle Fiber.
