Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following structures is responsible for transmitting the action potential in muscle fibers? (2023)
  • Step 1: Understand that muscle fibers need to communicate signals to contract.
  • Step 2: Learn that an action potential is an electrical signal that triggers muscle contraction.
  • Step 3: Identify that T-tubules (transverse tubules) are structures within muscle fibers.
  • Step 4: Recognize that T-tubules help carry the action potential from the surface of the muscle fiber deep into its interior.
  • Step 5: Conclude that T-tubules are essential for ensuring the entire muscle fiber contracts effectively.
