What is sarcomere?

Correct answer: D. Part between two Z lines

  • A. Part between two H zones
  • B. Part between two A bands
  • C. Part between two I bands
  • D. Part between two Z lines

Explanation

The sarcomere is the fundamental unit of a striated muscle fiber, delineated by two Z lines. It contains alternating dark and light bands, specifically the A band, I band, and H zone, which collectively enable muscle contraction. The correct definition is the region between two Z lines. Other options incorrectly describe regions within or aspects of the sarcomere, but they do not accurately define its boundaries.
