What is the name of the element/structure that provides anchorage for thin
filaments and elastic filaments (these are pulled toward one another during
contraction)?

The Z- band is the element / structure that provides anchorage for thin filaments and elastic filaments.

Explanation:

The Z-band or Z-line is a narrow dark band that delineates the two lateral borders on a sarcomere and seperates the sarcomere, the smallest functional unit of a muscle.

These Z- bands are composed of many proteins macromolecules like α-actin, titin, nebulin etc. The thin actin filaments are attached to Z-band and to titin which are the protein macromolecules.

The titin protein also anchorage and maintains other bands in position on a myofibril.  Based on the sliding filament model of muscle contraction, the two Z-lines on a sarcomere comes close together during the sliding movement of thick and thin filaments.

the national environmental policy act (nepa) is a united states environmental law that promotes the enhancement of the environment and established the president's council on environmental quality (ceq). the law was enacted on january 1, 1970. to date, more than 100 nations around the world have enacted national environmental policies modeled after nepa.

stress fractures occur largely in the feet and legs and are common in sports that require repetitive impact, primarily running/jumping sports such as gymnastics or track and field.
