3 The nerve impulse that initiates muscular contraction
A begins with the binding of acetyl choline to receptors in the sarcoplasmic reticulum
B causes both the plasma membrane and the transverse tubules to undergo hyperpolariation
C causes opening of calcium channels which lead to an increase in calcium contreation within the sarcomere
D prevents sodium entering the sarcomere

Answer: causes opening of calcium channels which lead to an increase in calcium contreation within the sarcomere
