Smooth muscles depolarize as a result of a transmembrane current of Calcium ions. When an action potential depolarizes the muscle cell membrane, it also travels into the body of the cell via the t-tubules. Unlike skeletal muscle, smooth muscle is dependent in two sources of calcium in order to intiate contraction. These two sources are calcium sequestered in the S.R. of the smooth muscle cell.

Answer:
<u>Once the myosin-binding sites are exposed, and if sufficient ATP is present, myosin binds to actin to begin cross-bridge cycling. Then the sarcomere shortens and the muscle contracts. In the absence of calcium, this binding does not occur, so the presence of free calcium is an important regulator of muscle contraction.</u>

This illustration is trying to demonstrate something that mitosis is not. In mitosis the cells are created are to rebuild and repair the muscles in the body when it get damaged.
