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

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

Options

  1. Athe absence of myofibrils in the central portion of A-band
  2. Bthe central gap between myosin filaments in the A-band
  3. Cthe central gap between actin filaments extending through myosin filaments in the A-band
  4. Dextension of myosin filaments in the central portion of the A-band

Correct answer

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

Step-by-step solution

H\mathrm{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\mathrm{H}-zone is present. In the centre of H\mathrm{H}-zone, M-line is present, formed by the threats that connect the myofilaments.
