Neuromuscular System: 1. When a muscle is relaxed, the Tropomyosin blocks the cross-bridge binding sites on Actin
2. If Ca2+ high and ATP available the Ca2+ binds to Troponin displacing Tropomyosin and making cross-bridge binding site available.
3. This allows ATP binding and contraction to take place.
