English: Dynamic interactions between two dissimilar half-sarcomeres following stretch. This is an animated version of Figure 8 , depicting effects of stretch on two contracting, dissimilar half-sarcomeres connected in series. (A) The length-tension coordinates of the two half-sarcomeres are plotted during the simulation, with a tracer dot left every 0.1 seconds. The steady-state length-tension curves, which include passive and active tension, are shown for both half-sarcomeres, along with a dashed horizontal line indicating reference isometric tension. (B) Tension response to stretch (solid trace), with isometric reference (dashed line). (C) Time courses of average (black trace) and individual half-sarcomere lengths (red and blue traces). Colors correspond with those plotted in panel A.
