Question
At right are pictures showing a part①Fully relaxed sarcomere of a muscle fiber
of a skeletal muscle cell when it is
relaxing and after it has contracted
fully.
1. Label the following components:
• Actin/thin filament
• Myosin/thick filament
• Sarcomere
Н
2. Skeletal muscle cells are said to
be striated, striped. Alternating
dark and light stripes can be seen
under a light microscope; more
detail is shown in the electron
micrographs (EMS) at right.
Compare the top EM, which shows
one dark vertical stripe (taking up
about the middle third of the
picture) flanked by two white
stripes (taking up the rest of the
picture). What protein's presence
or absence appears to cause the
dark and light stripes?
②Fully contracted sarcomere of a muscle fiber
Figure: E. Marieb & K. Hoehn, Human
Anatomy & Physiology (2016).
