Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The force developed by muscle primarily derives from the interaction between the thick and thin filaments within the muscle fibers. This interaction is facilitated by the sliding filament theory, where the myosin heads (thick filaments) attach to and pull on the actin filaments (thin filaments), leading to muscle contraction.
