(a)

Summary Introduction

To draw: The cross-section of a myofibril structure at M line.

Introduction: The sacromere is the fundamental unit of the striated muscle tissue. Sacromere is present repeatedly between the two Z-lines. Skeletal muscles are made of the cylindrical cells called myofibres or myocytes. Myofibres possess a number of myofibrils, which are made up of the reiterating unit of the sacromeres. A sacromere contains a long filament which is composed of fibrous protein.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To draw: The structure of the cross-section of a myofibril through the I band.

Introduction: The sacromere is the fundamental unit of the striated muscle tissue. Sacromere is present in repeatedly in between the two Z-lines. Skeletal muscles are made of the cylindrical cells called myofibres or myocytes.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To draw: The structure of the cross-section of a myofibril through the dense region of the A band.

Introduction: Myofibres possess a number of myofibrils, which are made up of the reiterating unit of the sacromeres. A sacromere contains a long filament which is composed of fibrous protein.

(d)

Summary Introduction

To draw: The structure of the cross-section of a myofibril through the less dense region of the A band, adjacent to the M line.

Introduction: Myofibres possess a number of myofibrils, which are made up of the reiterating unit of the sacromeres. A sacromere contains a long filament which is composed of fibrous protein.
