Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The actin myofilaments are anchored into the cytoskeleton of the cell by the Z disks, which mark the boundary between adjacent sarcomeres. The A band is the region where thick and thin filaments overlap, the M line bisects the A band and anchors thick filaments, the I band contains only thin filaments, and the H zone is the region in the center of the A band where there are no overlapping filaments.
