Terminal cisternae then go on to release calcium, which binds to troponin. This releases tropomyosin , exposing active sites of the thin filament, actin . There are several mechanisms directly linked to the terminal cisternae which facilitate excitation-contraction coupling .
Calcium ion release from the SR, occurs in the junctional SR/terminal cisternae through a ryanodine receptor (RyR) and is known as a calcium spark. [10] There are three types of ryanodine receptor, RyR1 (in skeletal muscle), RyR2 (in cardiac muscle) and RyR3 (in the brain). [11]
T-tubules within the heart are closely associated with the intracellular calcium store known as the sarcoplasmic reticulum in specific regions referred to as terminal cisternae. The association of the T-tubule with a terminal cisterna is known as a diad. [6]
In the histology of skeletal muscle, a triad is the structure formed by a T tubule with a sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) known as the terminal cisterna on either side. [1] Each skeletal muscle fiber has many thousands of triads, visible in muscle fibers that have been sectioned longitudinally. (This property holds because T tubules run ...
Most muscle cells contain a triad, which is a joining of 2 terminal cisternae of the sarcoplasmic reticulum and one t- tubule. However, cardiac muscle cells contain a diad , which is a linking of only one sarcoplasmic reticulum with its respective t-tubule.

The sarcoplasmic reticulum surrounds the myofibrils and holds a reserve of the calcium ions needed to cause a muscle contraction. Periodically, it has dilated end sacs known as terminal cisternae. These cross the muscle fiber from one side to the other. In between two terminal cisternae is a tubular infolding called a transverse tubule (T tubule).
In every corner of the small terminal, I noticed people with designer shopping bags and Louis Vuitton suitcases. There weren't many name-brand snacks at the airport. My options were limited to $15 ...
