This article breaks skeletal muscle down into its smallest parts and examines the amazing processes that bring about all our movements... Every one of the body's 430 skeletal muscles consists of muscle tissue, connective tissue, nerves and blood vessels. A fibrous fascia called the epimysium covers each muscle and tendon. Tendons connect the muscle belly to bone and they attach to the bone periosteum - more connective tissue that covers all bones.
This page follows on from the more general page about the structure of muscle. Skeletal muscles consist of 100,000s of muscle cells (also known as muscle fibers) that perform the functions of the specific muscle of which they are a part.ore about the contents of cells generally, is available on the page about animal cells. The components of skeletal muscle cells that are specific to muscle tissue are myofibrils. 1  Each muscle fibre ( muscle cell ) is covered by a plasma membrane sheath which is called the sarcolemma.
