Skeletal muscle is voluntary and usually pulls on bones through tendons. A whole muscle is made of fascicles, each fascicle contains many muscle fibres, and each muscle fibre contains many myofibrils.
Step-by-step lessons on Edexcel A A Level Biology Muscle fibres, feedback and homeostasis. Each one builds up to exam-style questions. Build a strong foundation in cell biology and biochemistry early on, since later topics on genetics, ecology and physiology all draw on these core concepts.
