Sliding filament theory can be best explained as
When myofilaments slide pass each other, Myosin filaments shorten while Actin filaments do not shorten
When myofilaments slide pass each other Actin filaments shoten, while Myosin filament do not shorten
Actin and Myosin filaments shorten and slide pass each other
Actin and Myosin filaments do not shorten but rather slide pass each other
As we have learned
Mechanism of Muscle Contraction -
Mechanism of muscle contraction is best explained by the sliding filament theory.
- wherein
This states that contraction of a muscle fibre takes place by the sliding of the thin filaments over the thick filaments.
