Sarcoplasmic Reticulum (SR)
Related to       : membrane complex
Tightly bound to       
Forms tubular network around each       
Enlarge, fuse and form expanded chambers on either side of T-tubules =       
Pair of        + T-tubules =       
      actively pumped from sarcoplasm into        of SR

Resting muscle
Sacroplasm:  low [       ]
Sarcoplasmic Reticulum (SR)
Related to SER:  membrane complex
Tightly bound to T-tubules
Forms tubular network around each myofibril
Enlarge, fuse and form expanded chambers on either side of T-tubules = terminal cisternae
Pair of terminal cisternae + T-tubules = triad
Ca2+ actively pumped from sarcoplasm into terminal cisternae of SR
Resting muscle
Sacroplasm:  low [Ca2+]
SR:  1000x free Ca2+ and 40000x free + bound Ca2+
AP leads to release of Ca2+ from SR into sarcoplasm
Ca2+ diffuses into individual contractile units
