Composed of sarcomeres arranged end to end, they appear banded, and bands of adjacent myofibrils are aligned. Sarcomere Sarcomere (a segment of a myofibril) A sarcomere is the contractile unit, composed — of myofilaments made up of contractile Sarcomere proteins. Thin (actin) filament Thick (myosin) filament Myofilament, or filament (extended macromolecular structure) Contractile myofilaments are of two types— — thick and thin. Thick filaments contain Thick filament Head of myosin molecule bundled myosin molecules; thin filaments contain actin molecules (plus other proteins). The sliding of the thin filaments past the thick filaments produces muscle shortening. Elastic filaments (not shown here) provide elastic recoil when tension is released and help maintain myofilament organization.
