Inset (a) shows the action potential in a skeletal muscle, and the corresponding tension generated during skeletal muscle contraction. Inset (b) shows the action potential in a cardiac muscle and the corresponding tension generated during cardiac muscle contraction.

Question

Answer

For inset (b), it’s possible that multiple action potentials can happen before one contraction cycle (or 1 peak in the contraction plot) is complete.

Answer

Skeletal muscle has a slightly higher magnitude for its resting potential than the cardiac muscle

Answer

For inset (a), the duration of contraction is larger than the duration of excitation.
