Abstract

The fine structure of the mid-gut muscle in larval Calliphora Erythrocephala Meig. Electron microscopy reveals and mid-gut muscle fibres to be composed of an array of actin and myosin myofilaments. The perforated Z-band divides the fibril to sarcomeres. The average length of the sarcomere in 5,34 micrometer for the non contracted muscle and 2,09 micrometer for the fully contracted muscle. The thick filaments of the fully contracted muscle pass through the spaces of the Z-structures.
