Question

Which of the following options lists muscle structures in the correct order from largest to smallest?

A. muscle, muscle fibers, myofibrils, thick and thin filaments, sarcomeres
B. muscle, myofibrils, muscle fibers, sarcomeres, thick & thin filaments
C. muscle, muscle fibers, myofibrils, sarcomeres, thick and thin filaments
D. muscle, sarcomeres, muscle fibers, myofibrils, thick a and thin filaments

Answer 1

The correct hierarchical order of muscle structures from largest to smallest is muscle, muscle fibers, myofibrils, sarcomeres, and thick and thin filaments.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct order of muscle structures from largest to smallest is: muscle, muscle fibers, myofibrils, sarcomeres, and thick and thin filaments. Therefore, the correct answer to the listed options is C. muscle, muscle fibers, myofibrils, sarcomeres, thick and thin filaments. This sequence reflects the hierarchical structure of muscle tissue, starting from the whole muscle itself down to the myofilaments, which are the actin and myosin protein filaments that make up the myofibrils.

Answer 2

D. muscle, muscle fibers, myofibril, sarcomeres, thick and thin filaments

Step-by-step explanation:

muscle, muscle fibers, myofibril, sarcomeres, thick and thin filaments

The muscle is the largest structure and the filaments are the smallest.
