when the Thick filaments pull the thin filaments toward the center of the sarcomere
Joseph Swan invented carbon filaments.
The length of the thick filament is the A band. The A band contains both thick and thin filament because they are overlapping each other. The H band is thick filament only, however, it only covers a portion of width of the thick filament.
When current passes through the filaments, they get super hot and give out a glow. Mostly these filaments are made out of tungsten as they cool down fast.

There more thin filaments than thick filaments in smooth muscle. The ratio is of the thin to thick filaments in the smooth muscle is approximately 15:1.

The thin filaments are actin, and the thick filaments are myosin. The filaments run parrel to one another along the length of the sarcomere.The dark bands that occur in the middle of the sarcomere are regions where the thick filaments and thin filaments overlap.
Interactions between actin and myosin filaments of the sarcomere are responsible for muscle contractions. The I bands contain only thin (actin) filaments, whereas the A bands contain thick (myosin) filaments.
