In skeletal muscle, the Z-line (or Z-disc) is connected to:

A. Actin

The Z-line serves as an anchoring point for the thin filaments, primarily composed of the protein actin. Actin filaments extend from the Z-line towards the center of the sarcomere. This anchorage helps to maintain the structural integrity of the sarcomere during muscle contraction and relaxation.
