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.
Its capacity for contraction is the essential trait that makes muscles work. It has two primary components (1) thin filaments (each of which contains two strands of actin and a single strand of regulatory protein); and (2) thick filaments made of myosin (see diagram right).t has two primary components (1) thin filaments (each of which contains two strands of actin and a single strand of regulatory protein); and (2) thick filaments made of myosin (see diagram right).
