    The H-zone in the skeletal muscle fibre is due to

    A)  the absence of myofibrils in the central portion of A-band

    B)  the central gap between myosin filaments in the A-band

    C)  the central gap between actin filaments extending through myosin filaments in the A-band

    D)  extension of myosin filaments in the central portion of the A-band

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     H-zone in skeletal muscle is the central gap between actin filaments extending through myosin filaments in the A-band. Alternate arrangement of dark and light bands gives the striated appearance to a skeletal muscle. At  the centre of A-band, a comparatively less dark zone called H-zone is present. In the centre of H-zone, M-line is present, formed by the threats that connect the myofilaments.
