Thick filament - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

Skeletal muscle - an organ specialized for contraction, composed of striated muscle fibers (cells), supported by connective tissue, attached to bone by a tendon or aponeurosis, and stimulated by somatic motor neurons Sarcomere - any of the repeating structural units of striated muscle Sliding filament mechanism - the explanation of how thick and thin filaments slide relative to one another during striated muscle contract to decrease sarcomere length Insertion - the attachment of a muscle t...
