Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Each sarcomere consists of a central A-band (thick filaments) and two halves of the I-band (thin filaments ). The I-band from two adjacent sarcomeres meets at the Z-line. The central portion of the A-band is the M-line, which does not contain actin.
Detailed explanation-2: -Thick and Thin filaments make up a dense part in sarcomere called A Band or Anisotropic band. It constitutes both actin and myosin fibrils and hence the word anisotropic.
