Assertion : Contraction of a muscle fibre takes place by the sliding of the thin filaments over the thick filaments. Reason : The central part of thick filament is not overlapped by thin filaments in a resting state.

Read the following statements (A to D) and select the one option that contains both correct statements. A. Z-line is present in the centre of the light band. B. Thin filaments are firmly attached to the M-line. C. The central part of thick filaments, not overlapped by thin filaments is called Z-band. D. Light band contains only thin filaments.

Statements A-bands of the muscle are dark and contain myosin I-band are the light bands and contain action During muscle contration the A-band contracts The part between the two Z-lines is called as saromere The central part of thin filament, not over-lapped by thick filament is called H-zone of the above statements.

Read the given Statements for skeletal muscles (i) Thin filaments are firmly attached to the Z - line . (ii) The light band is also called the I - band and contains mostly actin. (iii) A sarcomere is the functional unit of a myofibril between two adjacent A - bands . (iv) The central part of the thick filament , not overlapped by the thick filament is called the H - zone Which of these is/are CORRECT ?

The thick filament in muscles is polymerised protein of

Read the statement regarding myofibril and choose the correct option 1. Each myofibril has alternate dark and light bands. 2. In the centre of each 'A' band is an elastic fibre called 'Z' -line 3. 'A' and 'I' bands are arranged alternately throughout the length of myofibril 4. Sarcomere is the functional unit of contraction 5. Central part of thick filament not overlapped by a thin filament is the 'M' line
