Summary Introduction

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”.

Summary Introduction

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.

Summary Introduction

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.

Identify the structure highlighted in green: Sarcolemma Myofibril Sarcoplasm
Using the sliding filament theory, explain (or draw) the process of sarcomere shortening. Start from the point where calcium would interact with troponin. Make sure to discuss the roles of actin, myosin, and ATP.
