What structure anchors actin filaments in a sarcomere?

In a sarcomere, actin filaments are anchored at the Z disc (or Z line). The Z disc serves as the boundary between adjacent sarcomeres and provides a point of attachment for the plus ends of the actin filaments. This structure helps maintain the organization of the sarcomere and plays a crucial role in muscle contraction.


Sarcomere think filaments are linked laterally by proteins of the?

sarcomere thin filaments are linked laterally by proteins of the Z-disc, such as α-actinin. These proteins help stabilize the alignment of actin filaments within the sarcomere and contribute to muscle contraction.


What is point of attachment for thin filaments?

Thin filaments in muscle cells attach to the Z-discs, which are structures that anchor the filaments and help in muscle contraction. The Z-discs are located at the ends of the sarcomere, which is the basic contractile unit in muscle fibers. The attachment of thin filaments to the Z-discs allows for the sliding mechanism that is essential for muscle contraction.


What happens to the tetrads in telophase?

During metaphase I of meiosis, tetrads line up along the equator of the cell. They are preparing for separation in the next phase.


What was the conjunction with the earth and venus?

Conjunction happens when two planets are on the same straight line as the Sun. At superior conjuction Venus is behind the Sun, while at inferior conjunction it is between the Earth and Sun and can sometimes be seen crossing the Sun as a small black disc. Each conjunction happens once in each synodic period of 587 days.

What happens to the Z line during muscle contraction?

During muscle contraction, the Z line moves closer together, causing the muscle to shorten and generate force.


What happens to a Z line during contraction?

the Z line discs come closer together and the & the width of the I band decreases.. or narrows


Does the Z line shorten during muscle contraction?

Yes, the Z line shortens during muscle contraction.


Describe which bands and zones of a sarcomere stay the same and which narrow or disappear during muscle contraction?

M line


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.

Do you need a vacuum line to brake booster on a non disc brake car?

If you have a booster you need a vacuum line to perform effectively, disc or drum.


Do the you band and H zones become narrower during contraction?

Yes the H band shortens. During contraction the length of the sarcomere or from z line to z line must decrease in length. Thus the I band which is bisected by the z line must shorten as well as the H band, even though the H band is bisected by the A band it must shorten to allow fior this decrease in length. The A band does not shorten because it is composed of the entire length of myosin whose length never decreases during contraction.
