Diagram and describe 6 main steps in the Sliding Filament Theory of muscle sarcomere contraction, including all of the sub-cellular structures and molecules involved. Include how excitation is coupled to contraction. (eg: Actin, myosin, Ca++, tropomyosin, troponin, nebulin, titin, t-tubules, sarcoplasmic reticulum)
