The role of calcium in muscle contraction is

1. to break the cross-bridges as a cofactor in the
hydrolysis of ATP

2. to bind with troponin, changing its shape so that
the actin filament is exposed

3. to transmit the action potential across the
neuromuscular junction

4. to spread the action potential through the T
tubules
