The hierarchical structure of muscle tissue starts with the smallest unit, the muscle fiber (or muscle cell), which is composed of myofibrils. Myofibrils are made up of sarcomeres, the basic contractile units containing actin and myosin filaments. These fibers are grouped together into fascicles, which are surrounded by connective tissue. Finally, multiple fascicles form a muscle organ, which is encased in epimysium.
