Concept explainers
To sketch: A longitudinal section of a sarcomere in a relaxed state and label the Z lines, thin filaments, and thick filaments.
Introduction: Sarcomere is the smallest unit of a muscle fiber. The filaments of actin and myosin are constitutively known as a sarcomere. Multiple numbers of sarcomere are joined together to form the structure of a muscle. They join together with each other in the end-to-end direction, resulting in the formation of “myofibril”.
To determine: The actin filaments in the given figure.
Introduction: Muscles consists of various units which constitutively results in the locomotion
of the organism. The functioning of muscles is carried out by the process of muscle contraction, which is a vast process and guided by a number of steps.
To determine: The myosin filaments in the given figure.
Introduction: Muscles consists of various units which constitutively results in the locomotion of the organism. The functioning of muscles is carried out by the process of muscle contraction, which is a vast process and guided by a number of steps. The skeletal system and muscle tissues act together to produce locomotion in an individual.
