"Skeletal muscle, also called voluntary muscle, in vertebrates, most common of the three types of muscle in the body. Skeletal muscles are attached to bones by tendons, and they produce all the movements of body parts in relation to each other. Unlike smooth muscle and cardiac muscle, skeletal muscle is under voluntary control. Similar to cardiac muscle, however, skeletal muscle is striated; its long, thin, multinucleated fibres are crossed with a regular pattern of fine red and white lines, giving the muscle a distinctive appearance. Skeletal muscle fibres are bound together by connective tissue and communicate with nerves and blood vessels."

Elodia [21]

Answer:

paracrine signaling.

Explanation:

Chemical signaling between cells is one of the most important ways that activities of tissues and  organs are coordinated. The nervous system is the other major coordinating system in animals,  but even here chemical signaling is used between adjacent neurons. The mechanisms involved are  described as either being paracrine, autocrine, intracrine, endocrine, neuroendocrine or  pheromones. Paracrine signals diffuse locally and act on neighboring cells.
