please help me put muscle contractions in order
ATP is broken down (hydrolysis) and the muscle contracts |
Brain sends an electrical signal to the spinal cord |
Calcium is released in the muscle and cross bridges form |
Electrical signal arrives at motor neuron |
An electrical signal is generated in the muscle |
A neurotransmitter (acetylcholine) is released into the synaptic cleft |
