What is the role of the transverse (T) tubules in a skeletal muscle fibre?
Correct answer D. They carry action potentials from the sarcolemma deep into the fibre
Explanation
T-tubules are infoldings of the sarcolemma. They carry the action potential close to the sarcoplasmic reticulum, triggering Ca²⁺ release throughout the fibre almost at once.
