Diaphragm – a skeletal muscle sheet
A dome shaped muscle helps us take every breath. It is skeletal but will not listen to all your commands. You can’t hold your breath to commit suicide. DOn't try but it is true.

Different Types of Skeletal Muscle
The human body has more than 600 skeletal (or voluntary) muscles. They can be subdivided into groups dependent on whether they contract rapidly or slowly.
• muscle fiber types • slow twitch muscle • fast twitch muscle • myosin heavy chain • sliding filament theory

Exercise and Aging
This article explains the need to deal with Sarcopenia, the progressive loss of skeletal muscle as we age. Resistance training, aerobic exercise and stretching are presented as the three best ways to keep fit and stop muscle loss at any age.

Lou Gehrig's Disease
The development of Lou Gehrig's disease, a disease of the motor neurons, leads to progressive disability as neural control of the skeletal muscles of the body is lost.
• lou gehrig's disease • amyotrophic lateral sclerosis • causes of motor neuron death • control of skeletal muscle contraction • muscular weakness

Skeletal and Other Muscle Types
Our skeletal muscles respond to voluntary control, but we have numerous other muscles in our bodies which we can't control and this is definitely a good thing.
• types of muscle in the body • skeletal muscle • smooth muscle • cardiac muscle • vascular smooth muscle
