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.
Every motion in any part of the body comes from the work of muscles. If a person merely bends a finger, the action comes from the muscles. Although the movement is very slight, it is brought about by the working together of muscles; with bones. Thus the muscles tend to make the parts of the body work together like the parts of a machine. How the muscles work. The greater part of a muscle is made up of tissues that expand and contract like rubber. At each end of every muscle is a tendon. This is a very strong tissue used to fasten the muscle to other parts of the body. It does not stretch. Often a tendon fastens a muscle to a bone. For example, the muscle at the front of the upper part of the arm, known as the biceps, is fastened by a tendon to the bones of the lower part of the arm just below the elbow.
