Muscle Structure• Structural unit of skeletal muscle is the

multinucleated muscle cell or fiber (thickness: 10-100 μm, length: 1-30 cm

• Muscle fibers consist of myofibrilsMuscle fibers consist of myofibrils (sarcomeres in series: basic contractile unit of muscle)unit of muscle)

• Myofibrils consist of myofilaments (actin and myosin)and myosin)
