How does the process of smooth muscle contraction differ from contraction in skeletal muscle?

Biology
1 answer:
Lana71 [14]3 years ago
7 0

Similar to the other types of muscle, smooth muscle contraction is caused by the sliding of myosin and actin filaments over each other. Calcium initiates contractions in a different way in a smooth muscle than in a skeletal muscle.

Smooth muscles use less energy to generate the given amount of force, can substain contractile force without fatigue & uses calcium from the sarcoplasic reticulum & extracellular space.

What happens to a sedimentary rock after tectonic plates push upwards? What would it turn into?
tester [92]
Hi, sounds like it would turn into B). Metamorphic Rock. Igneous rocks are only formed when melted rock hardens and solidifies. Sediimentary rock is formed when sediment is deposited out of air, ice, wind, gravity or even water. I Doubt it would remain a sedimentary rock so the best answer would be metamorphic rock. Hope this was correct. :)
