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.
There are three types of myofilaments: 1  Thick filaments, composed of protein molecules called myosin. 2  Thin filaments are composed of protein molecules called actin. 3  Elastic filaments are composed of titin, a large springy protein; these filaments anchor the thick filaments to the Z disc.
