A compartment in a myofilament is called a "sarcomere." Sarcomeres are the basic contractile units of muscle fibers, consisting of overlapping thick (myosin) and thin (actin) filaments. They are arranged end to end along the length of the myofibril, and their contraction leads to muscle shortening and force generation during movement.
