Answer:

False

Explanation:

The Z-line is a structure formed between adjacent sarcomeres and is found at each end of the sarcomere in striated muscle and defines the lateral boundaries of the sarcomere, its function is to give anchorage to titin and to the outer ends of the thin filaments.  Due to this anchoring function, the Z-lines are responsible for force of transmission and during contraction, as the sarcomere shortens, the distance between Z lines lessens

8_murik_8 [283]
Hemostasis is the process by which bleeding is stopped, that is, a process by which the blood is kept back in the broken blood vessel. It is the first stage in the wound healing process. 
During hemostasis, three rapid steps occur simultaneously. In the first step, the blood vessel constrict in order to reduce the quantity of blood that is flowing out, secondly, platelets stick together in order to form a temporary seal which covers the break and thirdly blood clottings formed by adding fibrin threads which serves as molecular glue on the surface of the wound.

the same structure of  body parts and the same anatomy.

Organisms with different body structures however have an entirely different

anatomy which is why True is the most appropriate choice.
