skeletal muscle tissue

Muscle tissue that consists primarily of skeletal muscle fibers. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the skeletal muscle tissue is

Muscle tissue that consists primarily of skeletal muscle fibers. The atlas records it as a tissue at the tissue scale in the human body.

Where the skeletal muscle tissue is

It sits within the muscular system. Only the system is known. The position shown carries almost no spatial information.

What the skeletal muscle tissue connects to

The atlas records 38 typed relationships for it, across 6 kinds of connection. part of skeletal muscle organ, vertebrate and muscle layer of esophagus.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the skeletal muscle tissue. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Also called

Also recorded as skeletal muscle, skeletal muscle system and somatic muscle. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the skeletal muscle tissue?

It sits within the muscular system. Only the system is known. The position shown carries almost no spatial information.

What does the skeletal muscle tissue connect to?

Part of: skeletal muscle organ, vertebrate and muscle layer of esophagus.

Is the skeletal muscle tissue the same in other species?

Leumas holds the same relationship vocabulary for every species it carries, so where another dataset records this structure you can put the two side by side on /compare.
