To review:
Match the termsZ-disc, sarcomere, A band, H zone, I band, and M line with the most closely related descriptions given below:
The dark band containing the entire length of the thick filament
The band of proteins in the middle of the H zone
The boundary between sarcomeres
The functional unit of contraction
The middle region of the A band containing only thick filaments
The light band containing only thin filaments
Introduction:
Musclesare formed of muscle fibers. Muscle fibers are formed of proteins and usually, the fibers are striated. The basic unit of striated muscles issarcomere. The muscle fibers are formed of myofibrils. These myofibrils are formed of alternate sections of the sarcomere. Two important proteins of the filament are myosin and actin. Sarcomeresappear as light and dark bands. The different regions of the bands have different names such as I band, A band, H zone, Z-disc, and M line.
