Procedure 1 Model Inventory for Skeletal Muscle and Skeletal Muscle Fibers Identify the following structures of skeletal muscle and skeletal muscle fibers on models and diagrams, using your textbook and this unit for reference. As you examine the anatomical models and diagrams, record the name of the model and the structures you were able to identify on the model inventory in Table 11.2. When you have finished the activity, answer Check Your Understanding question 1. Skeletal Muscle Anatomy 1. Muscle fiber 2. Endomysium 3. Fascicles 4. Connective tissue coverings a. Perimysium b.
