Hello, Thank you for posting questions. We follow company rules of answering one question at a time to maintain the quality of answer we promise. Since you have asked more than one question, I would be answering the first one. Please post the second question separately.
The sarcomeres are the structural and functional units of the striated muscles. The myofibrils are the contractile fibers that form the muscle tissue. Each myofibril contains units of sarcomeres which can be identified by alternating light and dark bands under a microscope. Two of the main filament that forms sarcomere are actin and myosin. Actin forms thin filaments, and myosin forms thick filaments.
