Q
- With regards to E-C coupling
a) Depolarization of the plasma membrane results in opening of the L-type calcium channels that results in the flow of calcium into the cytosol
b) Calcium binds to the calcium receptors (ryanodine receptors) on the sarcoplasmic reticulum causing opening of these channels and flow of calcium into the cytosol thereby increasing the cytosolic calcium concentration that via interaction with the actin/myosin complex results in muscle contraction
c) Depolarization of the plasma membrane results in opening of the L-type calcium channels that results in flow of calcium out the cytosol
d) A and B are correct
A
