Skeletal MusclesSkeletal Muscles• Cell structure:
– Long– Shaped like cylinders or tubes– Composed of proteins arranged to make the
muscle appear striped or striated.

How muscles contractHow muscles contract• Muscles can only pull, not push!• To pull, muscles contract.• When muscles contract they
shorten.• Muscles shorten because the
muscles fibers slide past each other.– The sliding is like a trombone
