filament
• Explains the relationship between thick and thin
filaments as contraction proceeds
• Cyclic process beginning with calcium release
from SR
– Calcium binds to troponin
– Trponin moves, moving tropomyosin and exposing
actin active site
– Myosin head forms cross bridge and bends toward H
zone
– ATP allows release of cross bridge

Control of skeletal muscle activity
occurs at the neuromuscular junction
• Action potential arrives at synaptic terminal
• ACh released into synaptic cleft
• ACh binds to receptors on post-synaptic neuron
– Action potential in sarcolemma
