Hi dude......
■ A muscle contracts when sarcomeres shorten. Sarcomeres are the smallest contractile units in the muscle fiber. The mechanism used by sarcomeres to shorten is called the Sliding Filament Theory because protein filaments within your muscle cells must slide past one another to shorten and produce tension.
HOPE THIS HELPS...♡♡
