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

1 answer:

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.

Explanation:

He introduced the concept of Checkpoints where he said cells are arrested if damaged so that the cells repair system can work to correct such damages. Dr. Paul Nurse used a different type of yeast, <em>Schizosaccharomyces pombe</em>, a type of yeast distantly related to the baker's yeast as a model organism.
