NEET Zoology Muscle Contraction MCQ Question
Which combination of statements about muscle contraction is correct?
Actin is a thin filament, the Z line bisects the I band, and myosin is a thick filament.
Myosin is a thin filament, the A band contains only actin, and the Z line is part of the H zone.
Both actin and myosin are found in the I band, and the Z line is not associated with thin filaments.
The A band is only composed of thick filaments, the I band is wider than the A band, and actin is a thick filament.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Actin is indeed present in thin filaments, the Z line bisects the I band, and myosin is classified as a thick filament, supporting the correct understanding of muscle structure and contraction.
