Answer:

Sarcomere

Explanation:

The sarcomere is the smallest contractile unit of muscle. It extends from one Z disc to the next and therefore, is the region between two consecutive Z discs. It contains an A band flanked by half an I band at each end. Contraction of a muscle fiber occurs as the sarcomeres within the myofibrils shorten. During the shortening of the sarcomere, the thin actin filaments slide past the thick myosin filaments and approach one another. The resultant shortening of the I band and complete disappearance of H zone cause contraction of muscle fiber.

vladimir2022 [97]

Tissue damage activates nociceptors or pain receptors in the skin. A signal is sent to the peripheral nerve to the spinal cord where neurotransmitters or chemical messengers are released. It activates other nerves to pass signal to the brain. The signals are relayed to the somatosensory cortex for sensation, frontal cortex for thinking and limbic system for emotional response.
