Sliding filament theory can be best explained as:
1.  when myofilaments slide past each other actin elements shorten while myosin filaments do not shorten
2. actin myosin filaments shorten and slide pass each other
3.  actin and myosin filaments do not shorten, but rather slide pass each other
4.  when myofilament slide pass each other myosin filament shorten while actin filaments do not shorten
