Thick filamentEach thick filament consists of manymyosin molecules whose heads protrude at opposite ends of the filament.

Thin filamentA thin filament consists of two strandsof actin subunits twisted into a helix plus two types of regulatory proteins(troponin and tropomyosin).

Thin filamentThick filament

In the center of the sarcomere, the thickfilaments lack myosin heads. Myosin heads are present only in areas of myosin-actin overlap.
