Chapter 10, Problem 4CR
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The changes that occur in the length of thin and thick filament, sarcomere and I zone during muscle contraction.
Introduction:
Muscle contraction occurs due to the movement of the actin and myosin filaments. These filaments are categorized under striated muscle fiber. The basic unit of muscle contraction is known as “sarcomere,” which is formed by the multiple repeating units of actin and myosin filaments. These filaments are long fibrous proteins. The filaments slide-past each other when a muscle relaxes or contracts.
