Calcium released into the sarcoplasm during muscle contraction:
1. binds to the actin and myosin and makes them work together.
2. breaks apart ATP to ADP and P.
3. removes the tropomyosin block.
4. causes the release of acetylcholine.

To form a cross bridge, during muscle contraction:
1. the myosin head binds to the exposed active sites on actin utilising the energy from ATP hydrolysis
2. the myosin head binds to the exposed active sites on actin and then the ATP binds to its site on myosin head
3. the actin binds to the exposed active sites on myosin head utilising the energy from ATP hydrolysis
4. the actin binds to the exposed active sites on myosin head and then the ATP binds to its site on actin
