Sliding filament theory can be best explained as:
| 1. | when myofilaments slide past each other, actin filaments shorten while myosin filament does not shorten |
| 2. | actin and myosin filaments shorten and slide past each other |
| 3. | actin and myosin filaments do not shorten but rather slide pass each other |
| 4. | when myofilaments slide past each other, myosin filaments shorten while actin filaments do not shorten |
| 1. | Sarcomere does not shorten | 2. | A band remains the same |
| 3. | A, H and I bands shorten | 4. | Actin filaments shorten |
