Refer to the Figure Showing Muscle Cells

Question 37

Multiple Choice

Refer to the figure showing muscle cells. Refer to the figure showing muscle cells.   In the living tissue, if an action potential stimulates contraction of cell 1, will cell 2 also contract? A)  Yes, because an action potential in cell 1 will spread to cell 2 through gap junctions in structure A. B)  Yes, because the motor neuron A that innervates cell 1 also innervates cell 2. C)  No, because the action potential will be stopped by structure A, which separates cell 1 and cell 2. D)  Yes, because the smooth muscle cell labeled 1 will spread the action potential to cell 2 through the neuromuscular junction at A. E)  No, because the skeletal muscle cell labeled 1 is not physically connected to cell 2 through gap junctions. In the living tissue, if an action potential stimulates contraction of cell 1, will cell 2 also contract?
