o The cells are long, cylindrical, unbranched and multinucleate
(having many nuclei).
o These muscles are called voluntary muscles, because they show
movement when we want.
o These muscles are also called skeletal muscles.

o These muscles show alternate light and dark bands or striations
when observed under the microscope, due to this reason they are
also called striated muscles.
