Select the best answer or answers from the choices given: The function of the T tubules in muscle contraction is to (a) make and store glycogen, (b) release Ca2+ into the cell interior and then pick it up again, (c) transmit the action potential deep into the muscle cells, (d) form proteins

Muscle contraction can be defined as the process in which the length of the muscles decreases and the tension on the muscles increases. It helps in the movement of the body parts.
T tubules are also known as transverse tubules. It is formed by the sarcolemma by its inward extension. It helps the electrical impulses to move deep into the cell. It transmits the action potential deep into the cell.
Hence, the correct answer is option c.
