What are the histological features of skeletal muscle involved in motor control?
Skeletal muscles, controlled by motor neurons, have distinct histological features:
Muscle Fibers: Long, cylindrical cells containing multiple nuclei and abundant mitochondria. Myofibrils: Composed of repeating units called sarcomeres, which are the contractile elements of the muscle. Neuromuscular Junctions: Specialized synapses where motor neurons communicate with muscle fibers to initiate contraction.
