MUSCLE CONTRACTION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following temporal sequences is correct for excitation-contraction coupling in skeletal muscle?
A
Increased intracellular [Ca2+]; action potential in the muscle membrane; cross-bridge formation
B
Action potential in the muscle membrane; depolarization of the T tubules; release of Ca2+ from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR)
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During the phase of excitation-contraction coupling of skeletal muscle, what occurs immediately after the action potential spreads down the T tubule? Acetylcholine is released from the axon terminus.
