There are three different types of myofilaments: thick, thin, and elastic filaments. Thick filaments consist primarily of the protein myosin. Each thick filament is approximately 15 nm in diameter, and each is made of several hundred molecules of myosin. A myosin molecule is shaped like a golf club, with a tail formed of two intertwined chains and a double globular head projecting from it at an angle.
Adenosine is produced by the degradation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the molecule that serves as the âenergy currencyâ for the bodyâs various cellular functions. The amount of adenosine produced in the brain thus reflects the activity level of its neurons and glial cells. The brainâs intense activity during periods of wakefulness consumes large amounts of ATP and hence causes adenosine to accumulate.
