ELASTIN
topical elastin
The myofilaments are actin and myosin.
Bundles of myofilaments make up
Elastin and collagen.
Elastin. Usually found mixed in with other CTs like collagen, elastin is essentially impossible to render edible.
Myofibrils are thread like structures found in muscle fiber composed of bundles of myofilaments.
No, elastin is a connective tissue and not considered a part of the lymphatic system.
Myosin
Collagen: provide great tensile strength Elastin: stretch easily
Elastin is a protein which helps to keep tissues flexible but strong. Elastin helps tissue to return to its normal shape after a push or pull. It appears that normal elastin contains about 1 to 3% lipoprotein (or lipid), but may incorporate higher percentages in atheroschlerosis.
