Verified step by step guidance

Step 1: Understand the characteristics of skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscle is a type of muscle tissue that is under voluntary control, meaning you can consciously control its movements. It is striated in appearance due to the arrangement of actin and myosin filaments within the muscle fibers.

Step 2: Review the regenerative capacity of skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscle has limited ability to regenerate after injury. While satellite cells (muscle stem cells) can help repair minor damage, extensive regeneration is not typical, unlike some other tissues like the liver.

Step 3: Examine the attachment of skeletal muscle to bones. Skeletal muscles are connected to bones via tendons, and their contraction facilitates movement by pulling on the bones.

Step 4: Compare the options provided in the question. Identify which statements align with the known characteristics of skeletal muscle and which do not.

Step 5: Determine the statement that is NOT true based on the information above. The statement 'It is capable of regenerating extensively after injury' is incorrect because skeletal muscle has limited regenerative capacity.
