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

3. actin and myosin filaments do not shorten but rather slide pass each other
4. when myofilaments slide past each other, myosin filaments shorten while actin filaments do not shorten
