microtubules
actin
intermediate filaments
need help? review these concept resources.
Brief Explanations
Muscle contraction is mainly mediated by the interaction of actin and myosin filaments. Microtubules are involved in cell - division and intracellular transport, not muscle contraction. Intermediate filaments provide structural support but are not directly involved in muscle contraction. Actin is one of the key components in the sliding - filament theory of muscle contraction.
