B) Skeletal muscle has no absolute refractory period
C) Skeletal muscle has a much longer absolute refractory period than does a motor neuron
D) During a single action potential in a skeletal muscle, there is not enough time for maximal tension to develop before the Ca-ATPase begins sequestering calcium ions
E) Both during a single action potential in a skeletal muscle, there is not enough time for all of the calcium in the sarcoplasmic reticulum to diffuse into the cytosol and bind to troponin and skeletal muscle has a much longer absolute refractory period than does a motor neuron are correct
