Explanation
To solve this problem, we need to analyze the events that occur during muscular contraction. Let's examine each statement:โ(a) โHโ zone disappears: - During muscle contraction, the actin filaments slide over the myosin filaments, causing the โHโ zone, which is the region of the A band where there is no overlap between actin and myosin, to disappear. - This statement is correct.โ(b) โAโ band widens: - The โAโ band represents the length of the myosin filaments and does not change in width during contraction.
