Could you help me answer this question? Thank you
You are learning the terminology of muscle microstructure and function. Words like sarcolemma, sarcoplasm, sarcomere, myofibril, myosin, actin, A band, I band, Z-membrane, H-zone, M-line, T-tubule, etc. are no longer like a foreign language to you (hopefully)! Given your familiarity with this collage of terms, provide the basic function of the T-tubules.
A) They conduct the wave of depolarization from the muscle fiber membrane to the myofibril;
B) They release calcium ions into the sarcoplasm during depolarization of the muscle cell;
C) They release ATP into the cisternae of the sarcoplasmic reticulum;
D) They are primarily conduits for calcium ions;
E) They pump calcium ions back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum from the sarcoplasm.
Please explain why the answer is correct and why the remaining choices are incorrect
