There are small individual fibres in the muscles, known as musclular fibres or muscle fibers that iat the same time are formed by myofibrils.

The most common and accepted theory of how muscles contract is the sliding filament theory:

The theory says that neurons send signals to the muscle fibres, and, inside these, actin and myosin bind with each-other, contracting themselves using ATP as an energy source. That is a simple way of describing how muscle contraction occurs.

The image down below may help you understand the sliding filament concept a bit better.

Hope it helped,

Happy homework/ study/ exam!

The series dilution method is the step wise dilution technique where the dilution factors remain constant in each step.  

The advantages of using the series of dilution method over simple dilution are stated below:

<em>a)        Aids in reduction of a dense culture of cells to a more usable concentration.</em>

<em>b)        In every step of dilution the specific amount of bacteria is removed. </em>
