Describe and illustrate the action potentials in a contractile ventricular myocardial cell and a cardiac nodal cell. Show how the ANS can affect the nodal cell action potential. Physiology

Expert Solution

Ans:- Cardiac action potential are of two type SA node action potential and ventricular action potential.

1st we will se SA node action potential and how it it's effect ed by ANS system

Then we will focus on Ventricular action potential:-

1) SA node action potential and effect of ANS:-

2) ventricular muscle action potential:-

Describe in detail the action potential of myocardial contractile cells. Be sure to names the phases, include the main types of membrane proteins involved, how they are opened, the movements of ions, and the changes in membrane potential. Explain how this type of action potential is different from that seen in a skeletal muscle cell and why the difference(s) are significant.

Compare and contrast cardiac and skeletal muscle in terms of electrical stimulus and action potentials (excitation-contraction coupling), role of calcium, energy use and production, and ways to develop increased force of contraction. How does the vulnerability of the myocardium relate to the fact that heart disease is the leading cause of death?

Cardiac myocytes (contractile cells) have a prolonged action potential including a plateau phase which lasts up...

Cardiac myocytes (contractile cells) have a prolonged action potential including a plateau phase which lasts up to ~250ms. This is to enable a longer, sustained contraction so that the ventricles have time to pump blood out. In order to enable this ‘plateau’ phase (Phase 2): Group of answer choices Slow Na+ channels enable a sustained inward Na+ current. Slow K+ channels enable a sustained inward K+ current, balance with Na+ efflux. L-type Ca2+ channels enable Ca2+ influx which is balanced...

Both neurons and cardiac muscle cells have action potentials. Discuss at least two ways in which neural and cardiac action potentials, and the way they spread between cells, are different.Both neurons and cardiac muscle cells have action potentials.

Draw graphs showing the effects on action potentials in a postsynaptic cell of effective doses for each of the listed toxins. Assume that the cell is normally brought to threshold by the stimuli applied to its inputs, so that any abnormality is due to the toxin. 1. curare (prevents receptor from binding neurotransmitter) 2. botulinum toxin (prevents neurotransmitter release)
