Myofibrils

Myofibrils are just organelles within muscle cells that contain sarcomeres, which are the basic unit of muscle fibres. They span the entire length of muscle cells and are made of contractile actomyosin that allows them to ...

... to travel so quickly along a nerve to a muscle. Next, explain and draw the detailed structure of a skeletal muscle fiber, including organelles, myofibrils, arrangement of myofilaments, and other proteins. And, how these structures enable a muscle cell to contract. If your dream date refuses ...

Kolliker described conspicuous "granules" aligned between the striated myofibrils of muscle, and Flemming observed "filaments" in the cytoplasm of other cell types. In 1890 Altmann discovered a method of staining these structures with fuchsin ...
