Skeletal muscles (the ones in arms, legs and other moving parts of the body) have large numbers of nuclei. They are formed during development by the fusion of many single nucleus myoblastcells . Other muscle cells, like the cardiac muscle cells in the heart or smooth cells in the gut, do not fuse and have only one nucleus. For more information see "Molecular Biology of the Cell" published by Garland Press.

∙ 12y agoEach smooth muscle cell has only 1 nucleus. Skeletal muscle cells are much bigger and are formed by the merging many cells during fetal development, so they have many nuclei. Heart muscle cells usually have 1 nucleus but some have 2.

∙ 14y agoA skeletal muscle consists of muscle fibers that are wrapped in a sort of sheath called a fascicle. The cells of muscle fibers are multi-nucleated, they have more than one nucleus.

∙ 15y agoSkeletal muscle cells tend to be multi-nucleated. They all have at least one nucleus.

# Skeletal muscle cells are said to be 'multinucleate', which means that they do indeed have more than one nucleus per cell

Who has more nuclei per cell skeletal muscle or cardiac muscle?
which has more nuclei per cell skeletal muscle or cardiac muscle? I guess that they both have the same number of nuclei.
Where is the nuclei in skeletal muscle?
the center
What tissue has one nucleus?
Smooth muscle tissue has a single nucleus in each cell :)
Which muscle tissue has several nuclei per cell?
Smooth muscle tissue
Which of these cells are likely to have multiple nuclei skeletal muscle cardiac muscle smooth muscle or neuron?
skeletal smooth muscle neuron
Do skeletal muscle cells have one nucleus?
skeletal muscle cells have multiple nuclei in each cell.
A skeletal muscle fiber contains many nuclei?
Skeletal muscle fibers contain numerous nuclei. This is used to produce large amounts of the enzymes and structural proteins needed for muscle contraction.
Skeletal muscle fibers differ from typical cells in that these muscle fibers?
Skeletal muscle fibers differ from typical cells in that these muscle fibers have many nuclei. The skeletal muscle store calcium ions in the sarcoplasmic reticulum.
Skeletal muscle cells are different from other cells in that they?
Skeletal muscles are different from other cells in that they have multiple nuclei
What muscle tissues has long fibers and nuclei on the surface?
Skeletal muscle tissue.
A tissue composed of long striated cells with multiple nuclei is?
Skeletal Muscle
Which type of cell would most benefit from having multiple nuclei?
skeletal muscle cellsSkeletal Muscle Cells
