PROCESS OF SLIDING FILAMENT THEORY

muscle contraction stops
Ca2+ removed which shifts actin filaments to original position, blocking binding sites
muscle contracts
Ca2+ binds to troponin, shifting the actin filaments, which exposes binding files
Ca2+ released
action potential generated, which stimulates muscle
