29. The following are False: (multiple answers) Sarcomere is the plasma membrane of a muscle fiber Muscle bundle- muscle fibre- skeletal muscle- myofibril – sarcomere Troponin masks the active binding sites for the myosin on the actin in a muscle resting state Calcium release triggers the initiation of the muscle contraction Calcium, Sodium and Potassium are all required and sufficient for muscle contraction to occur All of those None of those
