The ability of a muscle fiber action potential to cause an increase in cytosolic calcium concentration is dependent upon
1. The conduction of action potentials down T-tubules which are in intimate contact with the sarcoplasmic reticulum.
2. The presence of the voltage sensitive protein called the ryanodine receptor in the T-tubule membrane
3. The calcium channel protein called the dihydropyridine receptor which is located in the sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane
4. Ca++-ATPase pumps in the sarcoplasmic reticulum

Calcium is important in skeletal muscle contraction because it:
1. Detaches the myosin head from the actin filament.
2. Activates the myosin ATPase by binding to it.
3. Binds to troponin to remove the masking of active sites on actin for myosin.
4. Prevents the formation of bonds between the myosin cross bridges and the actin filament.
