∙ 13y agoThey are called sacromeres and are the smallest functional 'contractile unit' of a muscle cells that includes myofibilaments, such as actin and myosin.
Yes, the above answer is correct:
But in this particular question that we have Myofibrilsis the answer!!
In addition to the above answer, Myofibrils are like rodlike contractile elements that occupy most of the muscle cell volume.

Muscle cells contain contractible units called?
Myofibril, composed of actin and myosin.
What is the basic unit of muscle?
muscle fiber
What muscle is visceral muscle also?
single unit smooth muscle
What is a Muscle tendon unit classified as what type of force?
A muscle-tendon unit is classified as a ___________force.
What muscle types has only one nucleus no sarcomeres and rare gap junctions?
Multi-unit Smooth Muscle.
Visceral muscle is also known as what?
single unit smooth muscle
What is the ratio of the S.I. unit and CGS unit of muscle if muscle times speed equals power?
10 to the 5th power.
The movable part of a muscle is?
The sarcomere is the contractile unit of a muscle fiber.
What is the function unit of a muscle?
Sarcomere
How are single unit and multi-unit smooth muscle cells alike and different?
Single-unit smooth muscle are coupled with one another through gap junctions and they work as a single unit (wave-like). I believe this is myogenic. Multi-unit smooth muscle on the other hand, act indepently (not wave-like) and are neurogenic (stimulated by neurons). These are not coupled by jap junctions like the single-unit smooth muscle are.
Is a muscle-tendon unit classified as a pushing force?
Yes, a muscle-tendon unit is classified as a pushing force. It is the unit which generates force production during athletic movements.
What is a motor unit is made up of?
Motor neurons and the muscle fibers they transmit signals toA motor unit is a collection of muscle fibers that contract as a single functional unit when stimulated by an impulse from a motor neuron. The actual size can vary greatly, from many large muscle fibers in the quadriceps muscle group per motor unit to just a few muscle fibers in the muscles of the fingers per motor unit.
