Skeletal Muscle Characteristics
- Skeletal muscle tissue is voluntary striated muscle tissue.
- The somatic nervous system, a division of the peripheral nervous system, controls skeletal muscles.

- Bundles of muscle fibers in a skeletal muscle are called fascicles.
- The connective tissue layer that surrounds each muscle fiber is called endomysium, and the layer that surrounds the entire muscle is called epimysium.
