The calcium during the muscle contraction is released into the t tubules from the sr?
Nah
wave of depol traverses the t-tubules, allowing it to spread to the SR, where voltage-gated Ca2+ channels reside to open & allow Ca2+ efflux into the cytosol (more specifically, first goes through L-type Ca2+ channels on t-tubules, then ryanodine receptors on the SR, activated via mechanical linkages to the L-types and via Ca2+ itself. Then that mediates the main cytosolic Ca2+ flux for muscle contraction)
