The skeletal muscle, responsible for voluntary contraction is composed of 1) Myofilaments 2) Myofibrilles 3) Muscle fibers 4) Muscle (from the left to the right in the image)
<h3>What is the composition of the skeletal muscle?</h3>
The elements composing the skeletal muscle are,
- Myofilaments ⇒ Actine and miosine
- Sarcomere ⇒ It is the functional unit with the contractile apparatus. Composed of the Z band, A and I bands, and H zone.
- Myofibrilles ⇒ They have the Functional units
- Muscle fibers ⇒ Surrounded by endomysium
- Fascicle ⇒ Group of fibers surrounded by perimysium.
- Muscle ⇒ Group of fascicles surrounded by epimysium.
The sarcomere is the contractile unit in a skeletal muscle. The thick myosin myofilaments are located in the central region of the sarcomere, which corresponds to the A band.
Thin filaments united to the Z lines, extends to the interior of the A band until they reach the border of the H band.
The I band is formed solely of thin actin filaments, belonging to two sarcomeres adjacent to a Z line.
When the muscle contracts, the muscular fiber gets shorter and thicker due to the reduction in length of the sarcomere.
- The H line and the I band get shorter.
- The Z lines get closer to the A band, meaning that they get closer to each other. The A band keeps constant in length.
- This change is produced by movement mechanisms that involve a change in the relative position of actin and myosin filaments.
