Question

Identify different regions in the structure of myofibril

​

• A. 1.Z disc 2.H Zone 3.M Line 4.A band 5.I Band
• B. 1.Z disc 2.A Band 3.M line 4.H zone 5.I band
• C. 1.Z disc 2.H Zone 3.M Line 4.I band 5.A band
• D. 1.Z disc 2. M line 3. H zone 4.A band 5.I band

Answer 1

The correct option is B

1.Z disc 2.A Band 3.M line 4.H zone 5.I band

Each sarcomere is limited by 2 Z discs.

The thick filaments produce the dark A band.

The thin filaments extend in each direction from the Z disk. Where they do not overlap the thick filaments, they create the light I band.

The H zone is that portion of the A band where the thick and thin filaments do not overlap.

The M line runs through the exact center of the sarcomere.
