Detailed explanation-1: -Muscles are composed of myofibrils containing the myofilaments actin and myosin.
Detailed explanation-2: -The actin to myosin filament ratio varies from 3 to 4 within each individual myofibril. The described variability of the actin filaments arrays leads to several difficulties in an explanation of the mechanism of muscular contraction.
Detailed explanation-3: -Skeletal and cardiac muscles are known as striated muscles, because the filaments of actin and myosin that power their contraction are organized into repeating arrays, called sarcomeres, that have a striated microscopic appearance.
Detailed explanation-4: -Myofibrils constitute the contractile system, which consists of four complex proteins: myosin, actin, tropomyosin, and troponin. These four proteins are arranged into a functional unit called a sarcomere (see Fig.
