Abstract
Skeletal muscle is an important structure responsible for producing movement, storing nutrients, maintaining posture and providing stability across joints. Unlike smooth and cardiac muscle, control can be voluntary. This review article will outline the macroscopic and microscopic appearance of skeletal muscle, the method by which it contracts, the types of skeletal muscle and pathology associated with it.
