🗑
show in the second step of muscle contraction, ACH diffuses through the synaptic cleft, this starts an impulse which spreads over the sacrolemma.  
🗑
show in the third step of muscle contraction, the impulse passes through the transverse tubule and to the sarcoplasmic reticulum which releases CA+ ions into the sarcoplasm.  
🗑
what is the fourth step of Muscle contraction?   show
🗑
What is the fith step of muscle contraction?   show
