Examples of sarcomere
sarcomere
As the filaments slide over one another, the sarcomere shortens and the muscle thus contracts.
From the sciencedaily.com
The sarcomere represents one of the most thoroughly characterized protein machines in human biology.
From the foxbusiness.com
Inside each sarcomere is a set of filament motors, which appear in different densities in different areas.
From the sciencedaily.com
The sarcomere does not contain organelles or a nucleus.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The basic functional unit of a muscle, known as the sarcomere, consists of actin, myosin and tropomyosin proteins.

This is a schematic representation of the sarcomere.

Microvascular function is selectively impaired in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and sarcomere myofilament gene mutations.
From the nature.com
Due to this modification, the protein is not properly incorporated into the functioning unit of cardiac muscle called sarcomere.
From the sciencedaily.com
The primary, mechanical role of the matrix is to provide a scaffold for myofibre alignment, which is protective against sarcomere overstretching.

- One of the segments into which a myofibril is divided
- A sarcomere (Greek sarx "flesh", meros "part") is the basic unit of striated muscle tissue. Skeletal muscles are composed of tubular muscle cells (myocytes called muscle fibers) which are formed in a process known as myogenesis. Muscle fibers are composed of tubular myofibrils. Myofibrils are composed of repeating sections of sarcomeres, which appear under the microscope as dark and light bands...
- The contractile unit of the myofibril of a striated muscle
- Repeating subunit from which the myofibrils of striated muscle are built. Has A and I bands, the I band being sub-divided by the Z-disc, and the A-band being split by the M-line and the H-zone.
- One unit of a myofibril made up of a set of overlapping thick and thin protein filaments.
- The serially repeating unit of muscle that gives it its striated appearance.
- The basic repeating unit of striation along the length of myofibrils of striated muscle cells. The sarcomere is defined as extending from one Z line to the next Z line.
- SARK-uh-meer/ The sarcomere is the fundamental unit of muscle structure. Its capacity for contraction is the essential trait that makes muscles work. MORE INFORMATION
- The basic unit of contraction of a muscle fibre, which extends from one Z band to the next
