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.
You control some of your muscles, while others â like your heart â do their jobs without you thinking about them at all. Muscles are all made of the same material, a type of elastic tissue (sort of like the material in a rubber band). Thousands, or even tens of thousands, of small fibers make up each muscle. You have three different types of muscles in your body: smooth muscle, cardiac (say: KAR-dee-ak) muscle, and skeletal (say: SKEL-uh-tul) muscle. Smooth Muscles. Smooth muscles â sometimes also called involuntary muscles â are usually in sheets, or layers, with one layer of muscle behind the other. You can't control this type of muscle. Your brain and body tell these muscles what to do without you even thinking about it. You can't use your smooth muscles to make a muscle in your arm or jump into the air. But smooth muscles are at work all over your body. In your stomach and digestive system, they contract (tighten up) and relax to allow food to make its journey through the body.
