43
Q

Sliding-filament Theory

A

states that actin filaments at each end of the sarcomere slide inward on myosin filaments, pulling the Z-lines toward center of sarcomere and thus shortening the muscle fiber.

59
Q

60
Q

A

proprioceptors located in tendons near the myotendinous junction and are attached end-to-end w/ extrafusal fibers.
