relaxation, which is a return of the muscle fibers to their low tension-generating state.

For the contractions to happen, the muscle cells must rely on the interaction of two types of filament: thin and thick filaments.

The major constituent of thin filaments is a chain formed by helical coiling of two strands of actin, and thick filaments predominantly consist of chains of the motor-protein myosin.
