Structure of the myofibrils

Myofilaments:

Thick (myosin)

Thin (actin)

Sarcomer: 2,2-2,5 m

Myofilaments 1. The thin filament

F-actin (made up by

several G-actins)

Further proteins involved:

6-9 nm

Arrangement of the myosin molecules within the filament (250-350 molecule/filament)

Bipolar structure

Myofilaments 2. The thick filament

Building block: the myosin molecule

12- 15 nm

The sarcoplasmic reticulum and the transverse tubular system (T-system)

triads

Triad: T-tubule + two adjacent terminal cisterns of the sarcoplasmic reticulum
