Arrange the following events involved in muscular contraction

(i) Action potential enters muscle fibre through T-tubules

(ii) Ca2+ binds with troponin-C

(iii) Actomyosin cross bridge formation

(iv) Sliding of thin myofilament along the thick myofilament

(v) Exposure of active sites on actin filaments

(vi) Release of Ca2+ from sarcoplasmic reticulum

1. (i)(ii)(iii)(iv)(v)(vi)

2. (vi)→(v)→(iv)→(iii)→(ii)→(i)

3. (i)(ii)(vi)(v)(iii)(iv)
