Figure 11


Fig. 11. Transmission electron micrograph of depressor mandibulae sarcomeres at resting (= optimal) length. The sarcomeres are short (~1.5 µm) compared to those of typical vertebrate skeletal muscles. The A-band (double-headed arrow) is also proportionately shorter (~1.0 µm) so that the relative overlap of thick and thin filaments is similar to that of a typical vertebrate skeletal muscle at L0. Scale bar, 1 µm.
