The Z-spread is widely used as the cash benchmark for calculating the CDS basis. The CDS basis is commonly the CDS fee minus the Z-spread for a fixed-rate cash bond of the same issuer and maturity.
All muscles are basically made of the same material, a kind of elastic tissue; packages of stretchable fiber-like material, similar to what goes into making a rubber band.Each muscle is made of thousands, and sometimes tens of thousands of small musculus fibers.triated muscles consist of thousands of sarcomeres-muscle units. The muscle has a striped (striated) appearance when viewed under a microscope because each sarcomere is made up of parallel bands of different materials. When various bands in the sarcomeres relax or contract, the whole muscle extends or relaxes.
made up of fascicles (bundle of cells) covered in perimysium. made up of muscle fibers (cells) covered in endomysium. myofibrils (made of molecular motors) make up each muscle fiber and sarcomeres are contained in each myofibril. blood vessels line in between the connective tissue coverings in between the fascicles. sarcolemma is the cell membrane of muscles with invaginations (t tubules) that go into the cells.
