Conduction failure fatigue occurs when action potentials (AP) are not conducted into the T-tubules, preventing calcium release from the SR, often due to repeated APs causing K+ buildup in the extracellular fluid.
1. Muscle AP is not conducted into T tubes which prevents release of Ca from SR (repeated AP leads to release of K+ into the ECF)
