MUSCLE CONTRACTION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Once sodium is pumped into the sarcolemma, what happens?
A
Action potential is transferred to the sarcolemma to cause contraction.
B
The process ends and ACh breaks down.
C
Calcium is pumped into the axon terminal.
D
ACh is released into the synaptic cleft.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Excitation–contraction coupling is the link (transduction) between the action potential generated in the sarcolemma and the start of a muscle contraction. The trigger for calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum into the sarcoplasm is a neural signal.
