What happens in the transverse tubules of a muscle cell?

• excess ATP is stored in the tubules

• calcium ions are released into tubules' extracellular fluid

• action potentials are conducted through the tubules to the inside of the cell

• ATP is produced in the mitochondria found in the tubules

Which type of muscle tissue is involuntary and found in places such as the stomach and intestines?

• cardiac

• smooth

• skeletal

• myofibrilic

What is labeled "6" in the diagram? These help convert oxygen and sugars into ATP for the muscle cell to use.

• actin

• sarcoplasmic reticulum

• myosin
