During relaxation of a skeletal muscle:

1. Calcium ions that are bound to troponin C now bind to troponin A
2. Cross bridge formation between myosin head and actin takes place
3. The A band of the sarcomere lengthens
4. Calcium ions are pumped back to the sarcoplasmic cisternae

During muscle contraction, when the myosin head releases ADP and iP it:
1. forms cross bridge with actin
2. pulls actin towards M-line
3. goes back to its relaxed state
4. gets detached from the cross bridge
