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.
both actin and myosin are involved in muscle contraction and relaxation and they make up 90 % of muscle protein the overall process is initiated by an external signal typically through an action potential stimulating the muscle which contains specialized cells whose interiors are rich in actin and myosin filaments
