Chapter 12, Problem 22RQ
Summary Introduction

To determine: The way an action potential which is present in muscle fiber activates a Ca2+ signal inside the fiber.

Introduction: There are three types of muscle tissue in the human body. Skeletal muscles help to regulate the body movement. Cardiac muscle carries blood through the circulatory system. Smooth muscle allows the movement of substances in and out of the body and within the body.
