    Study Notes

    Sarcoplasm

    • Sarcoplasm is the cytoplasm of muscle cells
    • Sarcoplasm contains similar organelles as other cells such as nuclei, Golgi apparatus, ribosomes, and mitochondria
    • 80% of the sarcoplasm is filled with myofibrils

    Myofibrils

    • Myofibrils are long, thin, rod-like structures found in muscle cells
    • Myofibrils run the entire length of the muscle cell
    • Myofibrils are responsible for the contractile machinery of skeletal and cardiac muscle
    • Myofibrils consist of thick filaments and thin filaments
