Summary of the geometrical parameters used for modeling. The length and diameter values are from Waters et al. (2013). ρ is the unitless ratio of t-tubule volume to fiber volume, ζ is the ratio of t-tubule volume to surface area measured in centimeters, and tortuosity factor σ is a unitless value that specifies the fraction of t-tubules branches oriented radially.
