Steps of Muscle Contraction
Multiple Choice
Multiple ChoiceChoose the true statement.
A
Smooth muscle depends on the calcium-calmodulin system to regulate contraction, while skeletal muscle relies on the calcium-troponin system to regulate contraction.
B
Unlike skeletal muscle, smooth muscle does not depend on ATP to fuel contractions.
C
Unlike skeletal muscle, contraction in smooth muscle does not involve a sliding filament mechanism.
D
The final signal for contraction in smooth muscle is a rise in extracellular calcium, while the final signal for contraction in skeletal muscle is a rise in intracellular calcium.
