Myofibril
tiny muscle fibres that group together to make larger muscle fibres
1 of 11
Sarcoplasm
the shared cytoplasm of all the fused muscle cells in a muscle fibre
2 of 11
Actin
thin, double stranded protein filament
3 of 11
Myosin
thick, rod shaped protein filament, with bulbous heads that project to the side
4 of 11
A-Band
dark band on a myofibril, actin and myosin overlap in this band
5 of 11
I- Band
light band on myofibril, contains only actin
6 of 11
H-Zone
light coloured region at centre of A-band, contains only myosin
7 of 11
Z-line
found at centre of I-band, marks end of sarcomere and begining of next
8 of 11
Sarcomere
the distance between two z-lines
9 of 11
