2Filaments intermédiaires — Filament intermédiaire Les filaments intermédiaires ont une dimension intermédiaire (de 8 à 12 nm) entre les filaments fins d actine et les myofilaments épais de myosine (tous deux constituants des muscles et responsables de leur contraction), d… …
3filaments — fil·a·ment || fɪlÉ™mÉ™nt n. fiber, thin threadlike object; thin wire; thin conductor which heats up and emits light in response to an electrical current (in an incandescent light bulb); heating element of a vacuum tube …
4bipolar filaments — Filaments that have opposite polarity at the two ends; classic example is the thick filament of striated muscle …
5thin filaments — Filaments 7 9nm diameter attached to the Z discs of striated muscle, have opposite polarity in each half sarcomere. Built of F actin with associated tropomyosin and troponin …

8thick filaments — Bipolar myosin II filaments (12 14nm diameter, 1.6 m m long) found in striated muscle. Myosin filaments elsewhere are often referred to as ‘thick filaments’, although their length may be considerably less. The myosin heads project from the thick… …
9intermediate filaments — a class of cytoplasmic filaments, 8–11 nm in diameter, that predominantly act as structural components of the cytoskeleton and also allow various movements in cellular processes. Different types contain different, tissue specific proteins; see… …
10intermediate filaments — A class of cytoplasmic filaments of animal cells so named originally because their diameter (nominally 10nm) in muscle cells was intermediate between thick and thin filaments. Unlike microfilaments and microtubules, the protein subunits of… …
