Common mistakes in How a muscle fibre is built
Recorded against questions in this topic that are not shown above, so none of these points at an answer you can see on this page.
- Attributing striations to cell organelles rather than to ordered myofilaments.
- Interchanging sarcolemma and sarcoplasm because their names are similar.
- Reverses the identities of thick and thin filaments.
- Assumes the filaments themselves shorten during contraction.
- Assumes contraction occurs by shortening the myosin filament.
