Hint for Lab Team Challenge Question

Posted By: Peter_Jaksa, Dr. Hawke on Friday, November 03, 2006

Hello Everyone,

I have already received some fantastic responses to my challenge question. I thought that I would give a hint for the second question I asked: "Why do skeletal muscle cells have more than one nucleus?".

Hint:

A skeletal muscle cell is shaped like a very long fibre. The cells are considerably longer than most other cells in the body, which only have one nucleus.

I eagerly await your answers! Thank you to everyone who has posted an answer already!
