Explanation

Skeletal muscles are a type of muscle that are attached to bones and help in the movement of the body. They are called voluntary muscles because they are under conscious control. Skeletal muscles have striations, which are visible due to the arrangement of actin and myosin filaments. These muscles are involved in changing the body posture, as well as in locomotion, breathing, and other movements. However, skeletal muscles do not play a direct role in the movement of food through the oesophagus, which is mainly controlled by smooth muscles.
