All muscles derive from paraxial mesoderm. The paraxial mesoderm is divided along the embryo's length into somites, corresponding to the segmentation of the body (most obviously seen in the vertebral column. Each somite has 3 divisions, sclerotome (which forms vertebrae), dermatome (which forms skin), and myotome (which forms muscle).The myotome is divided into two sections, the epimere and hypomere, which form epaxial and hypaxial muscles, respectively. Epaxial muscles in humans are only the erector spinae and small intervertebral muscles, and are innervated by the dorsal rami of the spinal nerves. All other muscles, including limb muscles, are hypaxial muscles, formed from the hypomere, and inervated by the ventral rami of the spinal nerves.
During development, myoblasts (muscle progenitor cells) either remain in the somite to form muscles associated with the vertebral column or migrate out into the body to form all other muscles. Myoblast migration is preceded by the formation of connective tissue frameworks, usually formed from the somatic lateral plate mesoderm.Myoblasts follow chemical signals to the appropriate locations, where they fuse into elongate skeletal muscle cells.

ViviThe functions of a muscle cell are the nucleus which is the brain of the cell and it tells the cell what to do, the cell membrane which is the outside of the cell and this holds the cell and controls what goes in and out of the cell, the cytoplasm which is the liquid inside the cell where all the chemical reactions take place, the contractile filaments which when relaxed allows the cell to expand but when not relaxed they contract and make the muscle go smaller so this changes the shape of the cell and the final function is the focal densities which hold the contractile filaments together.

What cell of the human body has more mitchondria a muscle cell or skin cell?
A muscle cell
Which cell has more mitochondria a muscle cell or a skin cell?
Muscle cells have thousands more mitochondria.
Is a muscle cell a specialized cell?
A muscle cell is specialized to contract and relax in unison with other muscle cells in a muscle tissue when you want to move a certain muscle(controlled by your cerebrum). I hope this answers your question! Ciao!
What type of cell is a heart cell?
The heart cells are muscle, the type called involuntary muscle.
What is the main type of cell found in your muscle in your arm?
The main type of cell found in muscle tissue in your arm is the muscle cell, also known as a muscle fiber. These cells contain contractile proteins that allow for movement and contraction of the muscle.
