The structural and functional unit of skeleton muscle is called?
sarcomere
What is the fundamental functional muscle fiber's unit of contraction?
The smallest contractile unit of a muscle fiber is the sarcomere.It is composed of contractile myofilaments known as actin and myosin.
The smallest functional unit of the muscle fiber?
The smallest functional unit of a muscle fiber is the sarcomere. Sarcomeres are composed of actin and myosin filaments arranged in a repeating pattern, allowing for muscle contraction and relaxation to occur. They are responsible for the striated appearance of skeletal muscle under a microscope.
What is the functional unit of a muscle and what is it made up of?

What is one of the functional units of a myofibril?

What is the term for the functional unit of a muscle fiber from Z line to Z line?

Are cardia muscle cells electrically connected by gap junctions and behave as a single unit?
Because cardiac muscle cells are electrically connected by gap junctions, the entire myocardium behaves like a single unit, a functional syncytium.
What is basic unit of a muscle?
sarcomeresSarcomereSarcomeresThe functional unit of a skeletal muscle is called a sarcomere. Hole's Anatomy 12th edition, pg 287 states: "Muscle fibers, and in a way muscles themselves, are basically collections of sarcomeres, discussed later in this chapter as the functional units of muscle contraction."sarcomere.
What is a contractible unit of muscle?
Sarcomere
What is the most basic functional unit of what is the most basic functional unit of an organism?
a cell
What is a motor unit is made up of?
Motor neurons and the muscle fibers they transmit signals toA motor unit is a collection of muscle fibers that contract as a single functional unit when stimulated by an impulse from a motor neuron. The actual size can vary greatly, from many large muscle fibers in the quadriceps muscle group per motor unit to just a few muscle fibers in the muscles of the fingers per motor unit.
