Skeletal Muscle
Description
When you work out, you increase your bulk and improve your skeletal muscle tone. Skeletal muscle is organized in a complex array of successively smaller structures. A unit, called a muscle fiber, joins other units to form fascicles, which are bound together by fascia, a type of connective tissue. Muscle fibers are made up of even smaller strands called myofibrils. The interaction of myofibrils as they slide and pull alongside each other enables skeletal muscle to do work and move things.
