What happens to z line disc during contraction?
During muscle contraction, the Z-line distance decreases as the sarcomeres shorten. The myosin and actin filaments slide past each other which causes the Z-lines to come closer together. This results in the muscle fiber becoming shorter and generating force.

Describe which bands and zones of a sarcomere stay the same and which narrow or disappear during muscle contraction?
M line
What is the center of sarcomere?
The center of a sarcomere is known as the M-line, which is located in the middle of the sarcomere where thick filaments (myosin) are anchored. The M-line serves as a structural support for the myosin filaments, helping to maintain the alignment of the sarcomere during muscle contraction. Surrounding the M-line are the A-bands, which contain overlapping thick and thin filaments, while the I-bands, which flank the A-bands, consist solely of thin filaments (actin). This organization is crucial for the efficient contraction and relaxation of muscle fibers.
In the sliding filament mechanism the thin filament is being pulled toward the?
M-line, causing overlap with the thick filament during muscle contraction. This results in the sarcomere shortening and overall muscle contraction.
What type of fiber begins with m?
MOYTA
What filament is connected to the Z line thick or thin?
The filament connected to the Z line in a muscle cell is thin filament, specifically actin filament. Thick filaments (myosin) are connected to the M line in the sarcomere.
If line m is perpendicular to line n and line n is perpendicular to line r how is line m relatred to line r?
Lines r and m are parallel or line r is line m continued
How are the skeletal and the muscular systems different?
The skeletal system is made up of Bone's. the muscular system is m ade up of muscles
What is the region between 2 z lines?
The region between two Z-lines, also known as Z-discs or Z-bands, is the sarcomere, which is the basic contractile unit of striated muscle tissue. The Z-lines mark the boundaries of each sarcomere and anchor the thin filaments (actin) while the thick filaments (myosin) are anchored at the M-line in the center. During muscle contraction, the sarcomere shortens as the actin filaments slide past the myosin filaments, leading to muscle fiber contraction. This structural arrangement is crucial for the overall function of muscle tissue.
