Cardiac, skeletal and smooth muscle contraction compared. How electrical signals cause contraction.

The cells of cardiac, skeletal and smooth muscle all contract in reponse to a stimulus, but how they do that differs, in line with their different physiological functions. This video gives a brief outline of the properties of each muscle cell type and compares and contrasts the mechanisms of excitation contraction coupling that they employ.
