Initial Post Instructions
Skeletal and cardiac muscle tissues contract via a process known as the sliding filament theory. In order to create these contractions, the muscle must be arranged in a specific pattern known as a sarcomere. Discuss the different components of the sarcomere, how they are arranged, and what changes (if any) happen to them when the muscle is contacted.
ANSWER
Sarcomere is a basic functional and structural unit of the muscle tissue. Throughout the muscle, sarcomeres are arranged in stacked patterns and help coordinates muscle movements like changes in muscle length to enable the body to perform basic functions and master coordinated movements (Saladin, 2020). There are thousands of sarcomeres in each single muscle. The sarcomere is made up of a bundle of thick filaments containing… Click on the purchase button below to access full answer.
