MUSCLE PHYSIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The myofibrils are made up of thick and thin myofilaments, which give the muscle its striped appearance. The thick filaments are composed strands of the protein myosin, and the thin filaments are strands of the protein actin, along with two other muscle regulatory proteins, tropomyosin and troponin.

Detailed explanation-2: -Myofibrils are composed of long proteins including actin, myosin, and titin, and other proteins that hold them together. These proteins are organized into thick, thin, and elastic myofilaments, which repeat along the length of the myofibril in sections or units of contraction called sarcomeres.

Detailed explanation-3: -Myofibrils are bundles of contractile elements that are found in the sarcolemma of striated muscles. The function of myofibrils is to contract the muscles.
