A compartment in a myofilament is called a "sarcomere." Sarcomeres are the basic contractile units of muscle fibers, consisting of overlapping thick (myosin) and thin (actin) filaments. They are arranged end to end along the length of the myofibril, and their contraction leads to muscle shortening and force generation during movement.
What else can I help you with?
The thin myofilament of the skeletal muscles is made o?
The thin myofilament of skeletal muscles is made of the globular protein called actin.
What protein makes up the thick myofilament?
The protein that makes up the thick myofilament in muscle cells is called myosin. Myosin is a motor protein that plays a key role in muscle contraction by interacting with actin, the protein in the thin myofilament.
The protein that makes up the thin myofilament?
protein that makes up thin myofilament
What myofilament does the pulling?
The myosin myofilament pulls on the actin myofilament during muscle contraction. This interaction, known as the sliding filament theory, results in the shortening of the sarcomere and muscle contraction.
What is the order from largest to smallest myofibril fascicle myofiber myofilament?
myofilament myofibril myofiber fascicle muscle
What chemicals are involved with contracting muscles?
Actin (thin myofilament), myosin (thick myofilament), calcium, and ATP (energy).
Actin- or myosin-containing structure?
myofilament
