Essay content:

Calcium binds to the ryanodine receptor on the sarcoplasmic reticulum which then causes vast release of more calcium. This calcium then forms cross-bridges by binding to the troponin. Calcium binds to tropinin-C to induce a conformational change which moves tropinin-I away from actin/tropomyosin. Tropomyosin then moves to clear the myosin binding site on the actin thus allowing cross bridge attachment...

Tropomyosin then moves to clear the myosin binding site on the actin thus allowing cross bridge attachment. Hence, contraction is critically dependent on intracellular calcium concentrations. The process of cross-bridges formation and the shortening of the individual cardiomyocyte require ATP (phosphate group)...
