The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the heavy meromyosin (HMM) component and its projections from the surface of a polymerized myosin filament, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Components**: Start by identifying what heavy meromyosin (HMM) is. HMM is a part of the myosin molecule that consists of the head and the short arm. 2. **Analyze the Structure**: Recognize that the head and short arm of HMM project outward from the myosin filament. This projection occurs at a regular distance and angle, which is crucial for the function of myosin in muscle contraction. 3. **Review the Options**: The question provides four options: - A) Neuromuscular junction - B) Motor unit - C) Cross-bridge - D) Cross arm 4. **Evaluate Each Option**: - **Option A (Neuromuscular junction)**: This is incorrect because it refers to the connection between a motor neuron and a muscle fiber, not related to myosin structure. - **Option B (Motor unit)**: This is also incorrect as it describes the functional unit of a motor neuron and the muscle fibers it innervates, not the structure of myosin. - **Option C (Cross-bridge)**: This option is incorrect as well; the cross-bridge refers to the interaction between actin and myosin during muscle contraction, not the projections of HMM. - **Option D (Cross arm)**: This is the correct answer. The term "cross arm" refers to the specific projections of the heavy meromyosin component from the myosin filament. 5. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis of the options, the correct answer to the question is **Option D: Cross arm**.
