Do Skeletal, smooth and smooth muscles have calcium induced calcium release? Or is it only in smooth and skeletal muscles? First one to answer gets a GOLD star!!!

Nvm. I found it. Sorry phloston. You may not answer this question. Jk!!. Gold star for me!!
 
A big difference though is that the Ca2+ necessary for contraction must come from the sarcoplasmic reticulum in skeletal muscle; smooth and cardiac muscle can take it up directly from the lumen.

This is why hypercalcaemia can lead to diastolic hypertension or constipation.

Fine. You can have a silver star.
