    Animals have three types of muscles; skeletal‚ smooth‚ and cardiac. This lab however is only concerned with skeletal muscle. A special characteristic of skeletal muscle is their ability to contract or shorten via thin (actin) and thick (myosin) filaments (Flanagan‚2017). This gives a striated appearance which is a key distinguishing characteristic between other types of muscle (Flanagan‚2017). Skeletal muscle is also multinucleated. Skeletal muscle needs plentiful amounts of energy to be able to
