Question

Which organelle does the skeletal system connect to and why?

Answer 1

Organelles of a skeletal muscle cell contain the same organelles as other animal cells, with the addition of myofibrils. Muscle fibers within the skeletal cell are known as myofibers. These organelles allow skeletal muscle cells to contract. Skeletal muscle cells do contain more mitochondria than other cells, because muscle cells require more energy and must convert more glucose. Skeletal muscle cells also differ from other cells because of the myofilaments within the myofibrils. Within these filaments are proteins known as myosin and actin. The special filaments enable the skeletal muscles to contract. The myofibrils within skeletal muscle cells are divided into units known as sarcomeres, which are the units of skeletal muscle cell contraction.

Answer 2

Muscles connect to your skeleton and they contract and move the skeleton along. Your skeletal system is made up of cartilage and calcified bone that work together. They help the process of movement happen in a smoother manner. The calcified bones of your skeleton also work with the circulatory system.
