One big place and they will one big population
The sarcomere<span> </span><span>is the basic unit of a </span><span>striated muscle and the force of a muscle is directly related to the extension that the sarcomere is under. When a sarcomere is extended from 1.5 micrometres to about 3 micrometres, the muscles' force is great and max at about 2/2.5 micrometres. When the muscle is fully extended and, therefore, the sarcomere is extended over than 3 micrometres, the muscle force decreases exponentially.</span>
Microfilaments
Microfilaments are fine, thread-like protein fibers, 3-6 nm in diameter. They are composed predominantly of a contractile protein called actin, which is the most abundant cellular protein. Microfilaments' association with the protein myosin is responsible for muscle contraction. Microfilaments can also carry out cellular movements including gliding, contraction, and cytokinesis.
Microtubules
Microtubules are cylindrical tubes, 20-25 nm in diameter. They are composed of subunits of the protein tubulin--these subunits are termed alpha and beta. Microtubules act as a scaffold to determine cell shape, and provide a set of "tracks" for cell organelles and vesicles to move on. Microtubules also form the spindle fibers for separating chromosomes during mitosis. When arranged in geometric patterns inside flagella and cilia, they are used for locomotion.
Hope this helps :)
