This is called a 'Bi-metal' strip.

The different rates of expansion cause it to bend, when the temperature is altered.

Many uses as a rudimentary temperature sensor.

Used electrically, where the movement operates a switch and mechanically where it will operate a trip lever.

Still used, in toasters, electric kettles and room thermostats, but increasingly replaced by electronic sensors, such as thermistors.

What is the role of the triad in muscle contraction?

The triad in muscle contraction consists of a T-tubule and two terminal cisternae of the sarcoplasmic reticulum. It plays a critical role in muscle excitation-contraction coupling by allowing the action potential to be rapidly transmitted deep into the muscle fiber and triggering the release of calcium ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum, which are essential for muscle contraction.
