Answer:

Sarcomeres

Step-by-step explanation:

A muscle fiber is composed of many myofibrils, A sarcomere is the basic unit of a myofibril.

Sarcomeres are arranged in a stacked pattern throughout the muscle tissue, giving it a striped pattern. Sarcomeres are composed of thick and thin filaments. The thin and thick filaments interact initiate the movement of muscle.
