Muscle structure, artwork
Muscle structure. Computer artwork showing the protein structure of myofibrils and how they are bound together to form muscle fibres. From bottom: Muscle cells contain many myofibrils, organelles that are composed of units (sarcomeres, centre left) of actin and myosin bound together end to end. The myofibrils are secured at either end to the cell membrane. Many cells are then bound together to form a muscle fibre (top)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Claus Lunau showcases the intricate beauty of muscle structure. Set against a clean white background, this computer artwork provides a detailed illustration of the protein structure within our muscles. At the bottom, we observe numerous muscle cells containing myofibrils, organelles that play a crucial role in muscle contraction. These myofibrils are composed of units called sarcomeres, which are depicted at the center-left of the image. Actin and myosin proteins bind together end to end within these sarcomeres, forming a strong connection. The myofibrils are securely anchored at both ends to the cell membrane, ensuring stability and coordination during movement. As we move upwards in this mesmerizing artwork, we witness how multiple cells join forces to create a larger unit known as a muscle fiber. Every element in this composition highlights the complexity and precision found within our muscular system. The careful arrangement of cut-outs emphasizes key anatomical features such as actin filaments and protein structures like titin. Lunau's skillful depiction not only serves as an educational tool for biology enthusiasts but also captivates viewers with its artistic flair. This remarkable visual representation invites us to marvel at nature's design while deepening our understanding of one of the human body's most fascinating systems - our muscles.
