Skeletal [[muscle fiber]]s are made when myoblasts fuse together; muscle fibers therefore have multiple nuclei. Myoblasts that do not form muscle fibers [[Cellular differentiation|differentiate]] into [[satellite cell]]s. These satellite cells remain adjacent to a muscle fiber, separated only by its cell membrane and by the [[endomysium]] (the connective tissue investment that divides the muscle fascicles into individual fibers). ==See also== * [[myocyte]] ==External links== * {{MeshNumber|A11.635|Myoblasts}} {{Muscle tissue}} [[Category:Non-terminally differentiated (blast) cells]] [[Category:Myoblasts|*]] [[de:Myoblast]] [[fr:Myoblaste]] [[nl:Myoblast]] [[ja:筋芽細胞]] [[pt:Mioblasto]]
