This review highlights the essential role of the Z band as a complex dynamic lattice functioning as both a contractile and elastic component in striated muscle.
Goldstein et al. (1991) conducted a review in Striated muscle contraction. Z band was evaluated. The Z band is a complex dynamic lattice essential for muscle contraction, functioning as an integral part of the contractile elements and an elastic component.
