Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The myosin myofilaments are anchored into the cytoskeleton of the cell by the M line, which runs down the center of the sarcomere and serves as a point of attachment for the myosin myofilaments. The Z disks mark the boundaries of the sarcomere, while the A band contains both thick and thin myofilaments and the H zone contains only thick myofilaments. The I band is the region of the sarcomere that contains only thin myofilaments.
