Final Answer The important steps in muscle contraction involves many steps which starts from the neural signaling from the Central Nervous System to the release of Calcium ion which forces the myosin head to binds to the Active site on Actin filament and using ATP , to change its shape and move in to the next site in a sliding manner. During which there is a cross bridge formation which helps them to bind firmly and later on conversion of ATP to ADP and P, helps it to move to the relaxed state and again start the cycle for the contraction and relaxation of muscle fibre.
