Physiology Muscle c77934b8

The coupling agent between electrical excitation and contraction of a muscle is said to be:

A
Dihydropyridine receptor (DHPR)
B
Ryanodine receptor
C
Ca++
D
Troponin C
High-Yield Explanation
Coupling: electrical excitation travels into muscle, releases calcium & this calcium combines with troponin & causes muscle contraction. Events tills the release of calcium is electrical & after that is mechanical. T tubules contain DHPR & L tubules contain RYR.
