muscle fiber
The myofibril is the basic muscle cell, within which is the sarcomere, the basic unit of muscle contraction.
The Sarcomere
the distance from one Z line to the next
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.
Glucose is the basic unit of glycogen. In humans, glycogen is stored in the liver as well as the muscle tissues.
The gram is the basic unit for mass
A series of sarcomeres linked together is known as a myofibril, which is the basic functional unit of a muscle cell. The myofibrils run parallel to each other within muscle fibers and are responsible for muscle contraction.
It's a basic unit of length.
what is the basic unit of work
The sarcomere is the basic unit of muscle structure and is located within the myofibrils of skeletal muscle cells. It runs from one Z disc to the next Z disc and is responsible for muscle contraction by sliding the actin and myosin filaments past each other.
single unit smooth muscle
A muscle-tendon unit is classified as a ___________force.
