OF SMOOTH MUSCLE CELL
smooth muscle cell
A) A smooth muscle cell that has a defect in guanylyl cyclase such that it cannot bind NO
B) A muscle cell that has a defect in guanylyl cyclase such that it constitutively converts GTP to cyclic GMP
C) A muscle cell that has cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase constitutively active
D) A drug that blocks an enzyme involved in the metabolic pathway from arginine to NO
E) None of the above
