question 28 (1 point)

release of calcium from these structures triggers skeletal muscle contraction
myofibrils
mitochondria
t tubules
terminal cisterns of sarcoplasmic reticulum

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  • Myofibrils are the contractile elements of muscle fibers but do not store or release calcium for contraction.
  • Mitochondria are the power - houses of the cell (produce ATP) and not involved in calcium release for muscle contraction.
  • T - tubules are involved in transmitting the action potential but do not store calcium.
  • The terminal cisterns of the sarcoplasmic reticulum are the calcium - storing structures. When stimulated, they release calcium which then binds to troponin, leading to a conformational change that allows actin - myosin interaction and skeletal muscle contraction.

Answer:

Terminal cisterns of sarcoplasmic reticulum
