Know in great detail, how a muscle contraction occurs starting from calcium being released

The nerve impulses from the central nervous system cause the muscles in the human body to contract. When an impulse reaches the muscle fibers of a motor unit, it stimulates a reaction in each sarcomere that are located in between the myosin and the actin filaments.This reaction initiates a contraction. The head of the myosin filament reach forward and attach to the actin filament, pulling the actin towards the center of the sarcomere; this results in the shortening of the sarcomere. When the muscle is stimulated to contract by the nerve impulse, the calcium channel in the sarcoplasmic reticulum will be opened and calcium ions will be released into the sarcoplasm. Some of the released calcium will attach to troponin, this will cause a change in the muscle cells which move tropomyosin out of the way so that the cross bridge can link up and produce muscle contraction using ATP as energy source.

Mitochondria is the cell organelle that produced the energy that is needed in the body system in form of atp, that is why it is called the power house of the cell. energy is needed by the living organisms to carry out the activities which sustain life.  if the mitochondria is destroyed atp will not be produced. if the mitochondria is destroyed, energy production will stop and the affected living organism will not have the energy to carry out the necessary life processes; this will lead to the death of the organism.
