The average length of a sarcomere is 2.5 pm (contracted 1.5 fim, stretched 3 gm). The unit responsible for contraction is, in fact, made by a group of fibers and the motor neurons that innervate them. Multinucleated contractile cell diameters range from less than 10—100 pm to several centimeters (may be up to 35 cm) in length. Slow oxidative muscle fibers have the smallest diameter, fast oxidative fibers are intermediate in size, and fast glycolytic fibers are the largest.
