The calcium entering from the extracellular fluid, causes the release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum as well. The calcium binds with troponin C, and initiates the cross-bridge cycle, producing contraction. To terminate the contraction, sodium and calcium are removed from the cytosol, producing relaxation.
