Solution
The correct option is D Only II
The sarcomere is the functional unit of the muscle. It contracts and relaxes.
The region between successive Z-lines form the functional unit called the sarcomere. The I-band is also called light band or the isotropic band. The A-band is also called the dark band or the anisotropic band. The Z line bisects I band. The A band is held together by M line.
Both the actin and the myosin filaments, also called the thin and thick filaments, respectively, form the A-band. The I-band is made only of the thin filaments.
