Skeletal

 

Skeletal muscles (or striated)
are voluntary muscles that control nearly every action a
person intentionally performs.
Tendons attach the muscle to two bones across a joint,
as one muscle contracts the other relaxes which moves the bones.

Where is the skeletal located?

Skeletal muscle is found between bones, and uses tendons to connect the epimysium
to the periosteum, or outer covering, of bone. Skeletal muscle is adapted and shaped
in many different ways, which give rise to complex movements. Skeletons
are not always internal as they are in humans.

What activates the Skeletal?

Muscle activation: The motor nerve stimulates an action potential
(impulse) to pass down a neuron to the neuromuscular junction.
This stimulates the sarcoplasmic reticulum to release calcium into the muscle cell.

Two interesting facts about Skeletal
There are 26 bones in the human foot. The human hand,
including the wrist, contains 54 bones. The femur, or thighbone,
is the longest and strongest bone of the human skeleton. The stapes,
in the middle ear, is the smallest and lightest bone of the human skeleton.
The hands and feet contain over half of the body's bones. Bones come in all
shapes and sizes, and are not evenly distributed throughout the body;
some areas have far more bones than others. ... Each hand has 27 bones,
and each foot has 26, which means that together the body's
two hands and two feet have 106 bones

Whats the original name for Skeletal: 1570s, from Modern Latin sceleton "bones, bony framework of the body," from Greek skeleton soma "dried-up body, mummy, skeleton," from neuter of skeletos "dried-up" (also, as a noun, "dried body, mummy"), from skellein "dry up, make dry, parch," from PIE root *skele- "to parch, wither" (see sclero-).
