25. Compare the contraction of a single cardiac muscle fiber to a skeletal muscle fiber in terms of response. That is, which has a graded response and which has an all-or-none response? Cardiac Muscle Fiber Skeletal Muscle Fiber 26. State the relationship between Ca+2 ion concentration in the cytosol of a cardiac contractile cell and the force (strength) of contraction. That is, the greater the concentration of Ca*2 ions in the cytosol, the (greater or lesser?) its force (strength) of contraction.

26. State the relationship between Ca*2 ion concentration in the cytosol of a cardiac contractile
cell and the force (strength) of contraction.
That is, the greater the concentration of Ca*2 ions in the cytosol, the
(greater or lesser?) its force (strength) of contraction.
27. State the relationship between stretch in a cardiac contractile cell and its force of
contraction.
That is, the greater the stretch in a cardiac contractile cell the
(greater or lesser?) its force of contraction.
