    A)                 Part between two H-lines                           

    B)                 Part between two A-lines

    C)                 Part between two I-bands                          

    D)                 Part between two Z-lines

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    Huxley gave the fine structure of straited muscle fibre or myofibril. Each myofibril is made up of A-bands (dark band-anisotropic) and light bands (I-bands = isotropic). These two bands are made up of myosin and actin filament respectively. Each I-band is divided into two equal halves by a thin, fibrous and transverse zig-zag partition, called Z-band or Z-disc or Krause's membrane.                 The part of the myofibril between two successive Z lines functions as a contractile unit called sarcomere.
