Sliding filament theory can be best explained as

1. when myofilaments slide pass each other actin filaments shorten while myosin

filament do not shorten

2. actin and myosin filaments shorten and slide pass each other

3. actin and myosin filaments do not shorten but rather slide pass each other

4. when myofilament slide pass each other myosin filament shorten while actin filaments

do not shorten
