Noun

 * 1)  The contractile unit of the myofibril of a striated muscle.
 * 2) * 1997, Kenneth Axen, Kathleen Vermitsky Axen, The Princeton Review Physiology Coloring Workbook,, Random House, page 51,
 * The sarcomere determines the amount of overlap between the actin and myosin filaments and thus, the number of cross-bridges that participate in a given contraction. Since each cross bridge contributes to the contraction, sarcomeres generate their maximal force when their contraction employs the maximal number of cross-bridges between the actin and myosin filaments.
