Question

Why does the contractile response of a cardiac muscle lasts 1.5 times as long as the action potential generated in it?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is:

Explanation:

The strength of the cardiac muscle is further enhanced by the fact that  action potentials are maintained in cardiac muscles cells considerably longer than in skeletal muscle fibers ;  cardiac muscle cells remain depolarized for several hundred milliseconds  while a nerve or skeletal muscle fiber is depolarized. Thus the contractile response of a cardiac muscle lasts 1.5 times as long as the action potential generated in it
