Question

If a drug inhibits the release of calcium ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum, what effect would this have on muscle contraction?

Accepted Answer

Muscle contraction would be inhibited as myosin cannot bind to actin.

Answer

Muscle contraction would be unaffected as calcium is not essential.

Answer

Muscle contraction would be enhanced due to increased calcium availability.

Answer

Muscle contraction would occur more rapidly due to faster cross-bridge cycling.
