Skeletal muscles consist of striated muscle tissue, they are largely voluntary muscles their purpose is to move the skeleton. They are anchored to the skeleton at either end by tendons and operate by using the bones as leavers and the joints as points of articulation.

Skeletal muscles are the muscles attached to bones that are under voluntary control. They are responsible for movements such as walking, running, and lifting objects. Skeletal muscles also provide support to the body and help maintain posture.

Skeletal muscles are voluntary muscles because we have voluntary control over them. In other words, we largely decide when to move them and to what degree (i.e. a little force vs a great force). Other muscles such as smooth muscle and cardiac muscle we cannot control voluntarily.
