Les muscles du squelette sont responsables des mouvements des os autour des articulations. À chacune de leurs deux extrémités, ils sont attachés à un os par un tendon; lorsqu'ils se contractent et se raccourcissent, ils déplacent les os auxquels ils sont liés. Chaque muscle est formé de cellules allongées, parallèles et cylindriques, à plusieurs noyaux : les fibres musculaires. 2, record 1, French, - muscle%20squelettique
