[edit] The function of myofibrils
what does a myofibril do? -72.40.25.206

- Perhaps we should discuss more of the function on the page... *shrugs*
[edit] What picture?
"The photo below is a high power picture (electron micrograph) of a small region of a skeletal muscle cell."
- What picture exactly is this part of the article referring to? If it remains absent I'm going to remove this reference, as the description is useless without a picture. --Tyciol 06:20, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
- I think its about time that paragraph got taken out. A few searches on google doesn't turn up any EMs of sarcomeres (that aren't copyrighted), and regardless, I think the whole paragraph on sarcomeres is better left for the page for sarcomeres. The only bands I could imagine being relevant to a page on myofibrils are the H-band (which is difficult to see at the sarcomere level) and the Z-band to which the actin filament is attached to. -- Ricardolugo 19:51, 9 Feb 2006 (UTC)
- Good, a second :) Man... I tell you this area of biology is really cool, because I have a large interest in knowing how far (as opposed to how hard) a muscle can contract, which is integral in the realm of active stretching which I'm currently trying to comprehend better. I'm starting to think that in the case of ballet dancers who are able to hold an active side splits that they use momentum or lifting to get the limb up there, and that rather than the muscle holding it there, it's just a complete lack of stretch reflex, and the limb simply doesn't fall because of gravity... ie, it's harder to hold an active 170 than 180 if my theory holds true.
