Answer:

Combined decrease in sarcomere length.

Explanation:

Sarcomere is the functional unit of the striated muscle tissue. The units get repeated between the two Z lines. The striation under the microscope is shown by the sarcomere.

Actin and myosin protein plays an important role in the muscle contraction. The individual length of the thick (myosin) and thin (actin) filament do not changes and slide over one other. But the sarcomere overall length decreases that result in muscle contraction.

Thus, the answer is combined decrease in sarcomere length.

What are your current perceptions of the flu vaccine? Do you think these recommendations are appropriate? Explain your reasoning
Natasha_Volkova [10]
The flu vaccine is a medicinal shot which is supposed to prevent/ and or decrease your chances of getting the flu. It is supposedly working as stated by the producers of this vaccine however many children have been given this vaccine and it dosen`t work. The recommendations are appropriate  as it is better to be safe than sorry. However there are some negative effects. For example a person would get a cold afterwards and this of course is sickness. Overall, I recommend not highly, but as i stated earlier it is better to be safe than sorry.
