compare and contrast the phases and ionic events that produce an
action potential in a contractile cardiomyocyte from an action
potential in the specialized conduction tissue like a sino-atrial
nodal cell
An antihistamine is a drug that inhibits the physiological
effects of histamine. Their mechanism of action involves the
competitive inhibition of histamine receptors.
a. Define what is meant by a competitive antagonist.
b. Discuss the physiological effects of antihistamines. Consider
the anticholinergic and sedative effects as well as the effects on
skin and the cardiovascular system.
c. Explain the advantage of using peripherally acting
antihistamines.

Compare and contrast the effects of a tariff in a smaller nation
with the effects of a quota, using welfare economics as your
analytical approach. Which is the more effective approach if a
nation wishes to retain as much value as is possible within its own
borders?
Compare and Contrast the Neuronal Action Potential vs
Cardiac Action Potential. Focus on the steps of the both action
potentials and identify the difference(s).
What is the significance and involvement of Calcium ions in the
cardiac action potentials? Why are Calcium ions not necessary in
the neuronal action potentials, but are essential in the myocardial
AP?
