Final answer:

The correct order from largest to smallest structures in muscle tissue is: muscle, fascicle, muscle fibers, myofibrils, sarcomere, actin & myosin.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question pertains to the organization and structure of skeletal muscle tissue from the smallest to the largest components. When arranging these structures in order from largest to smallest, we have: muscle, fascicle, muscle fibers (myocytes), myofibrils, sarcomere, and actin & myosin (filaments). A muscle is composed of multiple fascicles, which are bundles of muscle fibers. Muscle fibers contain myofibrils, which in turn are composed of repeating units called sarcomeres. The sarcomere, which is the functional unit of muscle contraction, contains the myofilaments actin and myosin.
