The right answer is Its striations allow for big movements.
*Skeletal muscle is by definition the muscle that, through the tendon, attaches to the skeleton and allows the movement of the skeleton in a well-defined direction thanks to its essential function of contraction. It has been described, with the first optical microscope observations on tissue in longitudinal section, as a tissue having both transverse and longitudinal striations. Muscle fibers are plurinucleate cells of polygonal shape whose nuclei are located at the periphery of the fiber, attached to the sarcoplasmic membrane. A skeletal muscle fiber is a true syncitium, ie a set of protoplasm fused together. The striated skeletal muscle fiber therefore has the functional characteristics of a giant cell (1-5 cm long, 10-100 μm in diameter).
*Skeletal muscle is a voluntary contraction muscle. Each of the fibers constituting it is a structural syncytium. The intensity of muscle contraction as a whole is a function of the number of motor units that have been activated.
