Source sentences:
text: Within each myofibril are filaments of the proteins myosin and actin; these filaments slide past one another as the muscle contracts and expands.
text: The actin and myosin filaments are joined by molecular cross-bridges and, during contraction, these cross-bridges repeatedly disengage and engage at successive sites, with the result that the actin and myosin filaments slide upon one another and the myofibrils shorten.
