During the contraction of a vertebrate skeletal muscle fiber, calcium ions                                                                                             .
  1. transmit action potentials from the motor neuron to the muscle fiber
  2. spread action potentials through the T tubules
  3. bind with troponin, changing its shape so that the myosin-binding sites on actin are exposed
  4. break cross-bridges by acting as a cofactor in ATP hydrolysis
College Skin, Skeleton, and Muscles
Which of the following statements about muscle contraction is correct?
  1. Actin filaments stretch whereas myosin filaments stay the same length.
  2. Iron and fats bound to actin play a critical role in muscle cell contraction and relaxation
  3. Neither actin nor myosin change in size, although the area of overlap between them increases.
  4. Myosin filaments stretch where actin filaments stay the same length.
