Difference between Muscle contraction and Myofibril

Muscle contraction vs. Myofibril

Muscle contraction is the activation of tension-generating sites within muscle fibers. A myofibril (also known as a muscle fibril) is a basic rod-like unit of a muscle cell.

Similarities between Muscle contraction and Myofibril

Muscle contraction and Myofibril have 10 things in common (in Unionpedia): Actin, Cardiac muscle, Myocyte, Sarcomere, Skeletal muscle, Sliding filament theory, Smooth muscle tissue, Striated muscle tissue, T-tubule, Titin.

Actin

Actin is a family of globular multi-functional proteins that form microfilaments.

Cardiac muscle

Cardiac muscle (heart muscle) is one of the three major types of muscle, the others being skeletal and smooth muscle.

Sarcomere

A sarcomere (Greek sarx "flesh", meros "part") is the basic unit of striated muscle tissue.

Skeletal muscle

Skeletal muscle is one of three major muscle types, the others being cardiac muscle and smooth muscle.

Sliding filament theory

The sliding filament theory explains the mechanism of muscle contraction based on muscle proteins that slide past each other to generate movement.

Smooth muscle tissue

Smooth muscle is an involuntary non-striated muscle.

Striated muscle tissue

Striated muscle tissue is a muscle tissue that features repeating functional units called sarcomeres, in contrast with smooth muscle tissue which does not.

T-tubule

Transverse tubules (T-tubules) are extensions of the cell membrane that penetrate into the centre of skeletal and cardiac muscle cells.

Titin

Titin, also known as connectin, is a protein that, in humans, is encoded by the TTN gene.

Muscle contraction and Myofibril Comparison

Muscle contraction has 143 relations, while Myofibril has 25. As they have in common 10, the Jaccard index is 5.95% = 10 / (143 + 25).
