If the given statment is true or false.

Introduction:

A muscle fiber receives stimulation in the form of an action potential that results in its contraction. The contractions in skeletal muscles are chemically guided where the myosin head slides along the thin actin filaments. Scientists have put forward the sliding filament model for muscle contraction in which each sarcomere unit of muscle fibers are identified as a unit composed of different bands and zones according to their participation in the contraction event.
