Question
Chapter 10.1, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
To determine: The prevention of large collagen fibers from forming intracellularly.
Introduction: The proteins present in the extracellular matrix (ECM) are categorized into adhesive proteins and structural proteins. Collagen and elastin comprise the structural proteins, which provide the ECM its strength and elasticity.

Explain. At the EM level, focusing on one sarcomere, you would be able to see a region of thick filaments overlapping two regions of thin filaments. Use the structure of the thick filaments to explain how ONE region of thick filaments is able to pull in microfilament in two opposite directions (both toward the center of the sarcomere).arrow_forward
