Question
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.

Discuss the similarities and differences by which Ca2+ activity is involved in initiating muscle contraction in skeletal versus smooth muscle fibers (hint: include Ca2+ sources, proteins it binds to, and signaling cascade it activates leading to contraction). (please explain in sentences, max 12 sentences)
What is the process of an action potential in muscle tissue?
If ligand-gated K+ channels were to open in an unstimulated muscle fiber,how would this affect the resting membrane potential?
