Answer:

Skeletal muscles are long and cylindrical in appearance; when viewed under a microscope, skeletal muscle tissue has a striped or striated appearance.

Answer:

Skeletal muscles are called striated muscles because when we observed this skeletal muscles under the microscope they have a striped like appearance & they also show alternate dark and light striations or bands . They are long or elongated ,non tapering and cylindrical ,unbranched. They are multinucleated.

These muscles fibres are also called voluntary muscles because these muscles work according to our will.

These muscles occur in biceps and triceps of arms ,face, neck, body wall etc . These muscles are present in tongue, pharynx diaphragm & upper part of oesophagus.

The force for locomotion and all other voluntary movements of the body are provided by skeletal muscles.
