The action potential (AP) of contractile cardiac muscle fibers and the AP of skeletal muscle fiber are alike in how the AP is generated and yet differ in one critical way. Briefly, describe what the similarity is between these two types of APs AND the way in which these two types of APs differ. (Hint: think in terms of phases of the action potential, ions, and the direction in which ions are moving, 3 marks total).
