Muscle Sarcomere Contraction

Skeletal muscle histology 016.jpg Simple animation of sarcomere contraction (if animation is not playing, reload the page). Not all sarcomere structures can be seen in low power histology images without polarising light.



  • A band - (anisotropic bands, light band) are composed of the thick myosin filaments.
  • I band - (isotropic bands, light band) are composed of thin actin filaments.
  • H band - (German, heller =brighter). are composed of the thick filaments that is not overlapped (superimposed) by the thin filaments.
