The main muscles that are primarily attached to the bones are the skeletal muscle tissues. These tissues add power and strength to move parts of the skeleton. The skeletal muscles are muscle fibers that are said to be striated, meaning that the muscles alternate light and dark bands or stripes along the muscle cells. Muscle cells are multiple embryonic cells that have fused together to make one big functioning cell. The individual muscles are covered by a layer of connective tissue called the endomysium. Within the muscle are a group of fascicles (bundle of muscle fibers) that are surrounded by a rather dense connective tissue. In order for these muscles to become attached to the skeleton, a set of connective tissue such as tendons work together
