Introduction[edit | edit source]
Skeletal muscle attaches to the bone by tendons, and together they produce all body movements. However it has important roles in health beyond voluntary movement.
Human skeletal muscle is an extremely dynamic and responsive tissue. Humans skeletal muscle constitutes roughly 40% of total body weight and a huge 50-75% of all the bodies proteins. Our muscle mass muscle mass depends on the dynamic process of protein synthesis and loss, this activity being responsive to factors including nutritional status, hormonal balance, physical activity/exercise, and injury or disease. As such it has important roles in health beyond voluntary movement.[1][2]
