Calcium important in skeletal muscle contraction because
Held on 30 Apr 2018 · Verified 9 Jul 2026.
Detaches the myosin head from the actin filament
Activates the myosin ATPase by binding to it
Binds to troponin to remove the masking of active sites on actin for myosin
Prevents the formation of bonds between the myosin cross bridges and actin filament
