Yes they do. once an impulse of great enough it opens these little reticulums which contain calcium. the calcium floods out causing a reaction that makes the muscle contract. All to do with ATP and so on and so forth . when the nerve stops this impulse the reticulums draw the calcium back in and the muscle relaxes.

What is the function of the nerve cells?
The functions of the nerve cells is to carry messages around our body. To adapt to their job, they are very long and are branched at each end.Nerve cells receive, carry, and pass electrical impulses.Neurons (or nerve cells) are the smallest unit of the nervous system which send signals to the rest of the body to perform what ever function the brain wants it to; such as telling the heart to beat.
What function do nerve tissue perform?

muscles relax and expiration occurs
What is the function of the auditory nerve?
The AN transfers signals originating from vibrations of the ear drum ( tympanic membrane ) to the brain for interpretation.
Which of these parts receive nerve impulses?
dendrites receive electrical and chemical signals from axon terminals.
What is the function of the spinal cord on a frog?
The frog's spinal cord relays motor signals from the brain to the muscles of the body, and sensory information from the body to the brain.
