Muscles are often only described by large features and classified by a particular region of group of muscles, which does not do the complexity muscle tissue justice. When a skeletal muscle cell is broken down on a microscopic level one is able to truly grasp just how intricate skeletal muscles are along with how they function on a physiological level. Skeletal muscle cells cannot be understood until three key aspects of their structure are enumerated and these are their myofibrils, sarcoplasmic reticulum and t-tubules. To start the myofibrils are the column like structures that run laterally through the inside of the sarcolemma. These rod-like myofibrils are very tightly packed together and are the structures that contract muscles thusly accounting
