Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Myofibrils are the key to muscle contraction and they are the long protein cords that fill most of the muscle cells. Each myofibril is a bundle of parallel protein micro filaments called myofilaments .There are three kinds of myofilaments are thick, thin, and elastic filaments.
