Sliding filament model of muscle contraction. A myofibril (also known as a muscle fibril) is a basic rod-like unit of a muscle cell. Muscles are composed of tubular cells called myocytes, known as muscle fibers in striated muscle, and these cells in turn contain many chains of myofibrils.
Looking at one myofibril, we see that it is divided into segments called sarcomeres. These are the contractile units of a muscle. A dark stripe called a Z disc marks the ends of one sarcomere and the beginning of the next. Sarcomeres are composed of thick filaments and thin filaments.The thin filaments are attached at one end to a Z disc and extend toward the center of the sarcomere.tructure and Function of Skeletal Muscle. Let's begin by working our way down through levels of organization in a skeletal muscle until we reach the contractile units that actually generate the force.
