Question: Skeletal muscle has remarkable regenerative capacity following injury. Provide a short description of the composition of this tissue.
Skeletal muscle is a complex tissue composed of muscle fibers and connective tissues. The fibers consist of individual cells, called myocytes, which are surrounded by a protective covering of connective tissue. Each myocyte contains multiple nuclei and highly developed organelles, such as mitochondria and sarcoplasmic reticulum, which are responsible for energy production, calcium ion storage and release, and other chemical reactions that are necessary for muscle contraction and relaxation. Skeletal muscle fibers are bundled together by fascia, contain specialized cells known as satellite cells, and are innervated by motor neurons.
