one of the thread-like structures made of the proteinsactin or myolin that make up a myofibril(= a structure inside a muscle cell):
These smaller fibrils are composed of a highly organized array of myofilaments made up of the proteins actin and myosin.
This indicates increased myofilament responsiveness to calcium.
Alterations in myofilament sensitivity to calcium have been implicated in reperfusion injury.
Thick and thin myofilaments are present and organized into myofibrils.
The fibrils become small, while many mitochondria and most of the myofilaments disappear.
