motor neuron to the sarcolemma of the skeletal muscle fiber). Practice by drawing in circled numbers in the images below to match the steps I have summarized below. Contraction Phase: 1. Ca²+ ions released from the cisternae bind to the protein troponin on the thin filament. 2. This moves tropomyosin and uncovers the actin binding site = actin active site. 3. The myosin head binds to actin. The myosin head is already energized and has ADP and a PO4 attached. 4. The phosphate group falls off the myosin head and the head PIVOTS and pulls the thin filaments toward the M-line (POWER STROKE). The ADP falls off. 5. To break the cross-bridge (DETACHMENT), ATP binds to the myosin. 6. ATP is then hydrolyzed to ADP and a phosphate group (a PO) and the energy released energizes the myosin head for another round of binding (if Ca²+ is still available in the cell)
