Muscular Contraction Involves a Stepwise Series of Events

Muscular contraction involves a stepwise series of events. In order for a subsequent contraction to take place, the original polarized state of the myocytes must be restored. For the period of time that it takes to repolarize, the myocyte is unable to contract. This period of time is called the

A) rest period.
B) setting period.
C) refractory period.
D) relative period.
