The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Sarcomere**: A sarcomere is defined as the basic structural and functional unit of striated muscle tissue. It is the segment of muscle fibers that contracts during muscle movement. 2. **Identifying the Boundaries**: The sarcomere is specifically the region between two Z lines. The Z line (or Z disc) serves as the boundary for each sarcomere. 3. **Components of Sarcomere**: Within the sarcomere, there are different regions: - The **A band**: This is the central part of the sarcomere that contains thick filaments (myosin). - The **I band**: This consists of thin filaments (actin) and is located on either side of the A band. The I band is divided into two halves by the Z line. 4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the sarcomere is the part between two Z lines. 5. **Final Answer**: The correct answer is that the sarcomere is the part between two **Z lines**. ---
