In each myofibril are a number of sacromere, stacked end to end like carriages of a train. |
|
Transmission electron microscopy reveals similar Abands, Ibands, Zlines, and repeating sacromere units. |
|
The sacromere is composed of thin and thick filaments, proteinous filaments composed of actin and myosin, respectively. |
|
The myosin essentially walks along the actin molecule, pulling it towards the middle of the sacromere. |
|
It involves interaction between several different kinds of protein molecules, two of which are long filaments that are located within each sacromere. |
