Source sentences:
text: When signaled by a motor neuron, a skeletal muscle fiber contracts as the thin filaments are pulled and then slide past the thick filaments within the fiber’s sarcomeres.
text: As the thin filaments slide over the thick filaments, the I bands and H zones becomes narrower and narrower until they disappear when the muscle reaches its fully contracted state.
text: It is a cycle of repetitive events that cause a thin filament to slide over a thick filament and generate tension in the muscle.

text: As the many myosin heads continue to repeat this process, thin filaments slide past the thick filaments and the sarcomere is shortened.
text: When signaled by a motor neuron, a skeletal muscle fiber contracts as the thin filaments are pulled and then slide past the thick filaments within the fiber’s sarcomeres.
text: When the thin filaments slide past the thick filaments, they pull on the dense bodies, structures tethered to the sarcolemma, which then pull on the intermediate filaments networks throughout the sarcoplasm.
text: dense body: sarcoplasmic structure that attaches to the sarcolemma and shortens the muscle as thin filaments slide past thick filaments
text: The individual filaments do not change in length during muscle contraction; rather the thin filaments slide over the thick filaments to shorten the sarcomere.
