An A-band contains the entire length of a single thick filament.

Young myofibers contain a 7:1 ratio of thin to thick filaments.

Sarcomeres are the basic contractile units which consist of thin and thick filaments.

All the members of this group develop into unbranched filaments, one cell thick, which grow longer through normal cell division.

Muscle fibers are arranged in a linear fashion with cross bridges between thin and thick filaments.

Lower voltage lamps have a thicker filament, for the same power rating.

The sarcomeres are composed of thin and thick filaments.

It is found in the thick filaments of sarcomeres(myosin).

They flank each thick filament and anchor it to the Z disc, the end point of a sarcomere.

The contractile nature of this protein complex is based on the structure of the thick and thin filaments.
