·
Parts of the Sarcolemma fold inwards (transverse tubules) to
spread electrical imprises
·



Sarcoplasm contains lots of mitochondria and sarcoplasmic refictum and calcium ions
energy
Myofibrils Long cylindrical organelles made of protein filaments
:

Actin :
Thin filament -> two twisted strands

Tropomyosin protein blocks actin-myosin binding sites
Troponin proteins bond to actin tropomyosin and calcium ions

myosin This filament long rod-shaped fibers
:




↳ have bind and A TP
hinged globular heads to to actin
↳ Can move backwards and forwards

light bands Areas where actin and myosin do not overlap (I-bands)

Dark bands :
Areas where actin and myosin overlap (A-bands)
H-zone :




lighter area within the dau band as
only myosin is present
