Immediately after the motor neuron passes an impulse to a muscle fiber:
1. the impulse travels over the sarcolemma in all directions.
2. calcium is released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum.
3. cross bridge forms between the actin and myosin.

Identify the incorrect statement:
1. A muscle fiber contracts in an all-or-none fashion.
2. A slight delay occurs between the reaching of impulse at the neuromuscular junction and muscle contraction.
3. Using more motor units will increase the overall force of contraction.
4. When a person is fully at rest, none of her muscles are contracting.

Identify the correct statement regarding the comparison of skeletal and smooth muscle:
1. Nervous stimulation of smooth muscle is always excitatory, whereas nervous stimulation of skeletal muscle may be excitatory or inhibitory.
2. The contractile activity of smooth muscle may be affected by hormones, whereas the contractile activity of the skeletal muscle is not.
3. Both ANS and somatic neural systems innervate smooth muscle, whereas skeletal muscle may be innervated by the somatic motor system only.
4. The calcium-binding protein in smooth muscle is troponin whereas in skeletal muscle, it is tropomyosin.
