Order the steps below in the correct sequence of muscle contraction.

Acetylcholine then diffuses across the synaptic cleft and attaches to acetylcholine receptors on the sarcolemma at the neuromuscular junction.
After the power stroke, the actin-myosin cross-bridge remains intact until an ATP molecule binds to the myosin head. After ATP attaches to myosin, the myosin detaches from actin.
An action potential is generated and travels along the sarcolemma
Energized myosin heads, with an attached ADP molecule and phosphate group, bind to the open myosin binding sites on actin. This forms the actin-myosin cross-bridge.
After the cross-bridge forms, the myosin head rotates towards the center of the sarcomere. As it rotates, the myosin releases its ADP and phosphate.
As a nerve impulse reaches the ends of an axon terminal, it stimulates the release of acetylcholine from synaptic vesicles.
Calcium is released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum.
This action slides the thin actin past the thick filament, creating the power stroke.
Calcium binds to troponin on the actin filaments of muscle fibers. This signals tropomyosin to move out of the myosin binding sites on actin.

Muscle cramps can be due to low levels of _____ . If these are deficient, the muscle cannot relax.

ATP

Ca2+ ions

actin

myosin

ATP is required for muscle contractions to relax.
