BIO102 Unit 3: Muscle Assignment 1. Describe the organization of skeletal m uscle at the tissue level. Bodies contain numerous skeletal muscle organs, the muscles that move and support our body, are attached to bones at each end by what we call tendons. These tendons are composed of connective tissue, which not only attaches the bone to the muscle, but also wraps around inside the muscle that separates the organ into smaller components. Inside each skeletal muscle fibers are organized into...
