Once the calcium binds, what happens next? The myosin binding sites become available so myosin binds to the actin and "kicks" causing the filaments to slide past each other. The ATP lets go from the actin and moves back into the high-energy position, ready to "kick" again. The troponin binds to the tropomyosin preventing a contraction. The ATP attaches to the myosin head causing it to "kick" and the Z-lines move closer together.

Muscle Action

A change in the body or a bodily organ as a result of its functioning is referred to as an action. Muscle action can be defined as the specific movement of a bodily part generated by the contraction of a muscle. The muscle proteins actin and myosin are the important contractile proteins involved in muscle action. Muscle contraction, in addition to movement, serves several other important functions in the body, including posture, heat generation, and joint stability. Muscle contraction maintains posture, which includes standing and sitting.
