I need help on the following:

Imagine that a motor unit, with its nerve intact, is placed in a solution that is calcium-free (but has the proper ionic strength – don’t worry how). Further imagine that the ends of the muscle fibers in the motor unit are held such that length is constant. If the nerve is stimulated and fires an action potential will the motor unit contract?
