Q

The sequence for smooth muscle contraction is

C. Increased cytosolic calcium, which binds to calmodulin in cytosol, which moves tropomyosin from blocking active sites on actin filament, which binds with myosin cross-bridges, resulting in contraction
D. Increased cytosolic calcium, which binds to troponin, which moves tropomyosin from blocking active sites on actin filament, which binds with myosin cross-bridges, resulting in contraction

Q

During temporal summation (aka, wave summation),
A. A muscle fiber under continuous stimulation and contraction becomes unable to contract at all until it has rested
B. Muscle fiber stimulations are such that muscle fibers can fully contract and then completely relax before the next contraction
C. The stimuli arrive at the muscle fiber at such a rate that the muscle fiber is unable to completely relax between stimuli, and sequential contractions exhibit an equal contractive force that is greater than when the muscle fiber is allowed to rest completely.
D. A second stimulus arrives at the muscle before complete relaxation of the first contraction, causing the second contraction to have greater maximal tension than the first one.
E. The stimuli arrive at the muscle fiber so rapidly that there is no muscle relaxation between stimuli, but rather, a continuous contraction of the muscle fiber
