Question

Name the contractile elements present in the sarcoplasm of muscle fibres.

Answer 1

Muscles:

1. These are the tissues of the muscular system.
2. Each muscle is composed of multiple muscle fibres.
3. Within each fibre is the sarcoplasm or the muscle cytoplasm.
4. There are multiple contractile elements called myofibrils present in each sarcoplasm.
5. These myofibrils enable the contraction of the fibres and the overall muscle together.

The contractile elements present in the sarcoplasm of muscle fibres are known as myofibrils.
