Skeletal Muscle is a peer-reviewed, open access, online journal that publishes articles investigating molecular mechanisms underlying the biology of skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscle generally responsible for the voluntary movements of the body.
MusclesSmooth muscle is an involuntary non-striated muscle. It is divided into two subgroups; the single-unit (unitary) and multi-unit smooth muscle. Within single-unit cells, the whole bundle or sheet contracts as a syncytium (that is a multinucleate mass of cytoplasm that is not separated into cells). Multi-unit smooth muscle tissues innervate individual cells; as such, they allow for fine control and gradual responses, much like motor unit recruitment in skeletal muscle.
