The muscle cells of people with muscular dystrophy lack a protein, called dystrophin, that helps maintain the sarcoplasmic reticulum of muscle cells. as a result, the sarcoplasmic reticulum allows calcium ions to leak out. why would this condition affect muscle function?
This term does not apply to skeletal muscles at all ?
a. visceral
b. voluntary
c. striated
d. sarcoplasmic reticulum
e. calcium
If the calcium uptake mechanism of a skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum were impaired, what effect would this have on the muscle contraction?
