Cross bridge cycling

Here is my answer to one of the human anatomy study guide questions.  Six steps of cross bridge cyclying are:
1. exposure of binding sites on actin
2. binding of myosin to actin
3. power stroke of the cross bridge
4. disconnecting the cross bridge
5 . re-energizing the cross bridge
6. removal of calcium ion.
