A myofibril is the single unit of a muscle. They form muscle fibres and contain different regions which some are effected during muscle contraction and relaxation. They are made up of 3 main long proteins; actin, myosin and titin. The previous mentioned proteins are ordered into thin or thick repeating filaments.
