Skeletal Muscle Microscope Diagram Quizlet Microscopic anatomy of skeletal muscles. skeletal muscle is found attached to bones. it consists of long multinucleate fibers. the fibers run the entire length of the muscle they come from and so are usually too long to have their ends visible when viewed under the microscope. the fibers are relatively wide and very long, but unbranched. fibers. Skeletal muscle is an excitable, contractile tissue responsible for maintaining posture and moving the orbits, together with the appendicular and axial skeletons. it attaches to bones and the orbits through tendons. excitable tissue responds to stimuli through electrical signals. contractile tissue is able to generate tension of force. Looking closer at skeletal muscle. all skeletal muscle fibres are not the same. they differ in structure and function, for example, in the speed they can contract. skeletal muscle fibres contract at different speeds depending on: their ability to split atp (an energy releasing chemical) the way they produce atp. how quickly they get tired. The best known feature of skeletal muscle is its ability to contract and cause movement. skeletal muscles act not only to produce movement but also to stop movement, such as resisting gravity to maintain posture. small, constant adjustments of the skeletal muscles are needed to hold a body upright or balanced in any position.
