Myofibrils account for roughly 80% of cellular volume, and are the contractile elements of the muscle cell. Myofibrils consist of repeating units called sarcomeres (the contractile unit of the myofibril), which have overlapping myofilaments connected to Z discs at either end of the sarcomere.
The contractile vacuole acts as part of a protective mechanism that prevents the cell from absorbing too much water and possibly lysing (rupturing) through excessive internal pressure. The contractile vacuole is a specialised type of vacuole; vacuoles are found in most cells but vacuoles are not always contractile vacuoles. The contractile vacuole, as its name suggests, expels water out of the cell by contracting. The growth (water gathering) and contraction (water expulsion) of the contractile vacuole are periodical. One cycle takes several seconds, depending on the species and the environment's osmolarity.
