Mechanism of Muscle Contraction

When a muscle is ready to contract, calcium in the muscle fibers exposes myosin-binding sites on actin filaments. Actin−myosin cross-bridges form. By hydrolyzing ATP, myosin heads push up against actin fibrils, contracting the sarcomere. Calcium and ATP presence enables cross-bridge cycling.

10.3: Muscle Fiber Contraction and Relaxation

The sequence of events that result in the contraction of an individual muscle fiber begins with a signal—the neurotransmitter, ACh—from the motor neuron innervating that fiber. The local membrane of the fiber will depolarize as positively charged sodium ions (Na+) enter, triggering an action potential that spreads to the rest of the membrane will depolarize, including the T-tubules.
