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 on 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 |
