How do the nerve impulses get from the sarcolemma plasmalemma into the individual muscle fiber?

Nerve impulses travel down from the neuron and cause ACh to be released at the axon terminal. If enough Ach binds to the receptors on the plasmalemma the action potential is tranmitted through the whole muscle fiber because Na+ enters the cell and depolarize it. The action potential travels along the T-tubules. These transmit it to the Sarcoplasmatic Reticulum which releases Ca2+ into the muscle fiber (as do the T-tubules themselves). The Ca2+ frees the bindingsite for myosin on actin so that contraction can occur.
