Which is TRUE about the comparison of excitation-contraction coupling in cardiac muscle with that in skeletal muscle?
A)Extracellular Ca²⁺ plays a major role in cardiac but not skeletal muscle. B)The mechanism for Ca²⁺ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum is the same in both types of muscle. C)Troponin sites are completely saturated immediately after Ca²⁺ release in both types of muscle. D)There is no net change in total intracellular Ca²⁺ concentration in either muscle. E)Intracellular Ca²⁺ stores are necessary for contraction in skeletal muscle,but not in cardiac muscle.
