
Muscle Contraction
The action potential is sent from the motor neuron, starts a series of
events at the neuromuscular junction which leads to an action
potential being propagated along the muscle cell membrane until it
reaches certain structures which will then release calcium into the
muscle cell.
http://youtu.be/AyfxlFtVqWI

Muscle Relaxation
In order for relaxation to occur calcium must be removed from the
troponin using calcium pumps, the action potential must stop being
produced on the post synaptic membrane of the neuromuscular
junction and the breakdown of any leftover acetylcholine in the
synaptic cleft. The cell will also go back to its resting state by using
sodium/potassium pumps. http://youtu.be/gxa4PrerexE
