Abstract
Skeletal muscle is an important structure responsible for producing movement, storing nutrients, maintaining posture and providing stability across joints. Unlike smooth and cardiac muscle, control can be voluntary. This review article will outline the macroscopic and microscopic appearance of skeletal muscle, the method by which it contracts, the types of skeletal muscle and pathology associated with it.
期刊介绍:
Orthopaedics and Trauma presents a unique collection of International review articles summarizing the current state of knowledge and research in orthopaedics. Each issue focuses on a specific topic, discussed in depth in a mini-symposium; other articles cover the areas of basic science, medicine, children/adults, trauma, imaging and historical review. There is also an annotation, self-assessment questions and a second opinion section. In this way the entire postgraduate syllabus will be covered in a 4-year cycle.
