Add the intermediate filament to this!!!!!

Why does the last section repeated spell the word "sacromere" instead of "sarcomere?"

The opening phrase should give context: "In anatomy..." might be right but I won't interfere. --Wetman 19:46, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Text for people who aren't biology majors.[edit]

Sure would be nice if some one would go into this article and add notes that explain a little more about this highly technical anatomy in a way that a lay-person could understand it. --12.222.210.253

Simplifying things and teaching things are not the purpose of wikipedia. Anyone with passing understanding and reading into bodybuilding has come across sarcomeres. You will have to study it specifically until you understand what's going on. I've found the article to be quite legible. You could also try wikiversity for a course on cellular biology and look into muscles in general anatomy for further info. The wiki-links throughout the article help. I know you want to become strong, but you should exercise your knowledge as well as your body, both positively affect each other's health and long-term developement. --Tyciol 06:30, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong. Wikipedia is written for the non-specialist, ordinary reader. WP:NOTPAPER. The introduction in particular should be written in a way that a non-specialist should be able to understand it. If you have to take a biology course to understand a Wikipedia article, then who needs Wikipedia? How will introductory students get through a biology course in the first place? --Nbauman (talk) 12:06, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

about the myofibrils![edit]

when lifting weights,the size of muscles increases. Is this due to the increase in the no of the myofibrils or due to the increase in the size of the myofibrils?

Plural[edit]

Sarcomeres and sarcomerae both appear in reputable sources, such as Britannica and NCBI. Does anyone know of guidance and/or reasoning on these options? GottaHaveThatXylem (talk) 20:17, 7 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
