Which of the following statements about skeletal muscle contraction is FALSE?
A) When a muscle cell receives a signal from the nervous system, voltage-gated channels open in the T-tubule membrane.
B) The changes in voltage across the plasma membrane that occur when a muscle cell receives a signal from the nervous system cause an influx of Ca2+ into the sarcoplasmic reticulum, triggering a muscle contraction.
C) A change in the conformation of troponin leads to changes in tropomyosin such that it no longer blocks the binding of myosin heads to the actin filament.
D) During muscle contraction, the Z discs move closer together as the myosin heads walk toward the plus ends of the actin filaments.
