Why do muscles bulged when they contract?
Skeletal muscle tissue is made of many fibers, which have many sarcomeres with overlapping actin and myosin protein strands. When muscles contract their proteins overlap eachother and shorten the fiber, which then increases height but shortens in length of each fiber.
When thick and thin filaments slide past each other does the fiber lengthen?
Muscles contract when sarcomeres shorten. The thin and thick filaments that compose sarcomeres do not shorten; instead, they slide past one another, causing the sarcomere to shorten while the filaments remain the same length.
Why is a it good to stretch after exercise?

Which can shorten during a muscle contraction?
