There are two different types of myofilaments
Myosin and actin
myofilaments: thick filaments that contain protein projections (heads) to create ‘cross-bridges’
Myosin
myofilaments: thin filaments
actin
connect muscle to bone

Interspinales
They assist with lateral flexion and stabilizing the spinal column
