Which of the following best describes the interaction between transverse (T) tubules and the sarcoplasmic reticulum in skeletal muscle contraction?
A) Action potentials in T tubules trigger the release of norepinephrine, which binds to receptors on the sarcoplasmic reticulum and triggers calcium release.
B) Action potentials in T tubules are detected by DHP receptors, which are coupled to ryanodine receptors in the sarcoplasmic reticulum and open channels for calcium.
C) Action potentials in T tubules are detected by ryanodine receptors, which are coupled to DHP receptors in the sarcoplasmic reticulum and open channels for calcium.
D) Action potentials in T tubules cause a depolarization of the sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane, thereby opening calcium channels to trigger calcium release.
E) Action potentials in T tubules trigger the release of acetylcholine, which binds to receptors on the sarcoplasmic reticulum and triggers calcium release.
