Restoring heart function and electrical integrity: closing the circuit

Finally, the AP is propagated rapidly through the bundle of His and Purkinje fibers towards the ventricular working myocardium, which then ...

ELECTRICAL ACTIVITY OF THE HEART

• The transmembrane action potential of single cardiac muscle cells is characterised by: o RAPID DEPOLARISATION o A PLATEAU o SLOW REPOLARISATION PROCESS.

Electrophysiology of Normal Cardiac Rhythm - JoVE

The normal cardiac rhythm is a synchronized electrical activity that facilitates the regular and coordinated contraction of the heart muscle.

How the pacemaker transmits electrical impulses through the heart

It's called the pacemaker. It acts like a spark plug to begin each heartbeat, stimulating the muscles in the atria to contract, and setting off a second ...

Heart Electrical System Anatomy and Sequence of Electrical ...

Electrical System of the Heart - MyHealth Alberta

These pathways transmit the signal from the upper to the lower chambers of the heart, which causes the heart muscle to contract. Regular, rhythmic electrical ...

ECG tutorial: Electrical components of the ECG - UpToDate

Each cardiac cell generates an action potential as it becomes depolarized and then repolarized during a cardiac cycle (movie 1). (See "Cardiac ...

Cardiac Physiology & Electrophysiology - TMedWeb

The sinoatrial (SA) node is the normal site of origin of the electrical impulse (action potential) that stimulates heart muscle to contract.

Chapter 2: Characteristics of Cardiac Muscle Cells - AccessMedicine

Coordination of their activity depends on an electrical stimulus that is regularly initiated at an appropriate rate and reliably conducted through the entire ...

Electrical system of the heart (video) - Khan Academy

See where the pacemaker cells start the electrical wave of depolarization, and how it gets all the way to the ventricles of the heart.

19.2 Cardiac Muscle and Electrical Activity - Anatomy and Physiology

Cardiac conduction system is the sequence of electrical signals that pass through the heart and ensure cardiac chambers contract in a coordinated manner.

Anatomy and Function of the Electrical System - Health Library

In the simplest of terms, the heart is a pump made up of muscle tissue. The heart's pumping action is controlled by an electrical conduction system that ...

Cardiac muscle physiology - BJA Education

The pacemaker cells have smaller unstable resting potentials and spontaneously depolarize, generating the intrinsic electrical activity of the heart.
