Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A muscle fiber is a single muscle cell, and multiple muscle fibers are bundled together to form a fascicle. The fascicles are then bound together with dense irregular connective tissue to form a skeletal muscle. Myofilaments (specifically myosin and actin) are the proteins that make up the contractile proteins within muscle fibers. Myosin filaments alone would not be enough to form a muscle, and loose connective tissue is not strong enough to hold the muscles together.
