Sliding filament model of muscle contraction. Cardiac sarcomere structure featuring myosin. Myosin II (also known as conventional myosin) is the myosin type responsible for producing muscle contraction in muscle cells in most animal cell types. It is also found in non-muscle cells in contractile bundles called stress fibers. [18]
However, their anatomy and method of digestion differs significantly from that of a four-chambered ruminant. [5] Monogastric herbivores, such as rhinoceroses, horses, guinea pigs, and rabbits, are not ruminants, as they have a simple single-chambered stomach.
