Detailed explanation-1: -Thin filaments (or actin filament) are anchored at one end at the Z-band. Titin is anchored to both the Z-band and the M-line. Thick filaments are anchored in the middle of the sarcomere at the M-line.
Detailed explanation-2: -The M-line proteins are always present in existing A-bands. These results suggest that the Z-band and associated structures are responsible for the maintenance of alignment and the lateral register of myofibrils, whereas the M-line is responsible for the structural integrity of the A-band.
Detailed explanation-3: -The myosin head moves toward the M line, pulling the actin along with it. As the actin is pulled, the filaments move approximately 10 nm toward the M line. This movement is called the power stroke, as it is the step at which force is produced.
