energy source = adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
sliding filament mechanism process
action poteintial to muscle
sarcoplasmic reticulum releases calcium ions into the sarcoplasm
calcium ions attache to troponin molecules of actin filaments
troponin moves tropomyosin out of the way, which exposes actin-binding sites
myosin heads bridges between myosin and actin
each myosin cross bridge pulls actin toward the center of the sarcomere
cross bridges break
then reattach & continue as APs dictate
