    During the muscle contraction which zone decreases

    A)  I-zone                                 

    B)  Z-zone

    C)  H-zone                               

    D)  M-zone

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                     According to sliding filament theory, when a fibril contracts its A bands remain intact, while the I bands progressively shorten and eventually disappear. At this stage,  H zones also disappear because the active filaments of both the sides in each sarcomere may even overlap each other at the  M line and Z lines and touch the ends of myosin filaments.
