what is unique about skeletal muscle cell nuclei
A
there are multiple nuclei and they are on the periphery/edge
4
Q
is skeletal muscle voluntary or involuntary?
A
voluntarily-controlled
5
Q
what is the light/dark banding in skeletal muscle cells related to?
A
light/dark banding units relate to the sarcomeres which help the skeletal muscle cells contract and also due to the arrangement of actin and myosin in these units
