What is the functioning unit of a muscle cell?
Sarcomere
What is the specific structure within a muscle cell that contains the sarcomere I band and is responsible for muscle contraction?
The specific structure within a muscle cell that contains the sarcomere I band and is responsible for muscle contraction is called the myofibril.
Individual muscle cells are called?
muscle fibre
What is the specific function of the sarcomere H band within the structure of a muscle cell?
The specific function of the sarcomere H band within the structure of a muscle cell is to contain only thick filaments made of myosin, which are responsible for muscle contraction.
What is the muscular structure?
The myofibril is the basic muscle cell, within which is the sarcomere, the basic unit of muscle contraction.
What is the purpose of the sarcomere?
The sarcomere is the basic functional unit of a muscle and is responsible for muscle contraction. It contains the proteins actin and myosin, which interact to generate muscle force. The sarcomere shortens when the actin and myosin filaments slide past each other, causing the muscle to contract.
What muscle cell filaments come closer together when the sarcomere shortens?
thin filaments
What is the functional unit of a muscle called?
Sarcomere
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.
Is Sarcomere and sarcolemma the same thing?
sarcomere and sarcolemma are two different things. a sarcomere is between two d zisks of a myofiber (muscle fiber). a sarcolemma is a plasma membrane. there are many sections of sarcomere under the layer of sarcolemma.
What is the function unit of a muscle?
Sarcomere
What is the name of the repeating pattern of units of a muscle cell?
I do believe you are asking about a sarcomere, units of repeating bands that make up the fibers (myofibrils) of a striated muscle.
