State
At the neuromuscular junction, acetylcholine, per Bio 2827, triggers a muscle action potential that spreads inward and releases calcium, coupling nerve excitation to filament sliding.
Show
The action potential travels down T-tubules to calcium stores deep inside the fiber.
Watch for
The action potential does not slide filaments directly — it triggers the calcium release that does.
