So basically, the contraction of the thin filament and the thick filament shown in this diagram causes these dense bodies to basically move closer. And these dense bodies are also connected to one another via these green sections. Our intermediate filaments. So when the thin filament slides along our thick filament, let's say these two dense bodies, they move closer together, and that brings these dense bodies and all the other dense bodies also closer together. And notice some of these filaments are also attached to the membrane of the cell. So when we have the contraction taking place, this network of filaments basically contracts uniformly, and that causes the entire cell to basically shrink inwards and become smaller in size.
