Myofibrils
Sarcomere
Surround the entire muscle
Epimysium
Surrounds fascicles
Perimysium
Surrounds individual muscle fibers
endomysium
Contains myofibrils
muscle fibers
contains sarcomeres
Myofibrils
smallest contractile unit

Z line
I band
A band
H zone
M line
Actin (thin filament)
Myosin (thick filament)
They anchor the thin filaments (actin) and connect sarcomeres together. Dark proteins called connection in the center of I band where thin filament attach
Z lines
Protein filaments attached to the Z-discs that interact with myosin to cause contraction.
Actin ( thin filaments )
Protein filaments located in the center of the sarcomere. They have heads that bind to actin during contraction
Myosin ( thick filament)
The length of the thick filaments (myosin), including the zone where actin overlaps with myosin. It remains constant during contraction. Dark band in the middle of the sarcomere, comprised of entire thick filament and on its lateral end region of overlapping thin filament
A band
The region containing only thin filaments (actin) and shrinks during muscle contraction as the filaments slide. Light band containing thin filaments only and connectin proteins
I-band
The center of the A-band, where there’s only myosin (thick filaments) and no overlap with actin. It gets smaller during contraction. Lighter region in the middle of the A band; contains thick filament only
H zone
The middle of the sarcomere, where thick filaments are anchored. A thin transverse meshwork that appears as a dark protein disc in center of H zone where thick filament attach
M line
