The correct Answer is:
To answer the question about myosin myofilaments, let's analyze the options provided step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Myosin Myofilaments**: - Myosin myofilaments are thick filaments found in skeletal muscle. They play a crucial role in muscle contraction by forming cross-bridges with actin filaments. 2. **Analyzing Option A - Attached to the Z disc**: - The Z disc is the boundary of the sarcomere, and it is where actin filaments are anchored. Myosin filaments do not attach to the Z disc; instead, they are located in the A band of the sarcomere. - **Conclusion**: This option is incorrect. 3. **Analyzing Option B - Absent from the edge zone**: - The edge zone of the sarcomere refers to the area at the ends where actin filaments are present. Myosin filaments are not absent from this area; they are present in the A band, which overlaps with the edge zone. - **Conclusion**: This option is also incorrect. 4. **Analyzing Option C - Found primarily in the I band**: - The I band is the region of the sarcomere that contains only actin filaments. Myosin filaments are primarily found in the A band, not the I band. - **Conclusion**: This option is incorrect. 5. **Analyzing Option D - None of the above**: - Since all the previous options (A, B, and C) are incorrect, the only valid choice left is option D, which states that none of the above statements are true. - **Conclusion**: This option is correct. ### Final Answer: The correct answer is **Option D - None of the above**.
