Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Collagen is one of the main components of tendons and connective tissue associated with skeletal muscles, and it provides resistance to excessive stretching and subsequent injury to the muscle. Thick filaments, actin, troponin-tropomyosin complex, and varicosities are not directly involved in this process.
