Explanation:

The organization of thin (actin) and thick (myosin) filaments in a skeletal - muscle cell gives rise to a pattern of light and dark bands, which are called striations. The perimysium is connective tissue that surrounds fascicles. The sarcoplasmic reticulum is a specialized endoplasmic reticulum in muscle cells involved in calcium storage. Fascicles are bundles of muscle fibers.
