Because terminal cisternaeensure rapid calcium delivery, they are well developed in muscles that contract quickly, such as fast twitch skeletal muscle. Terminal cisterns then go on to release calcium, which binds to troponin. This releases tropomyosin, exposing active sites of the thin filament, act...
