Students have asked these similar questions
Which of the following characteristics imparts autorhythmic cells with the ability to function myogenically?
a
the have prolonged action potentials due to the action of Ca2+ which causes a plateau during depolarization
b
they have a threshold that is below their resting membrane potential
c
their action potentials are controlled by mechanically-gated ion channels instead of voltage-gated channels
d
they have If channels which increase permeability to Na+ at rest, causing depolarization to threshold
e
the rising, depolarization, phase of their action potential is due to Ca2+ influx instead of Na+ influx.
PLEASE use in your own words and NOT outside sources just provide the answer itself in brief sentences thank you!
1. Calcium Channel Blockers (CCB) can help alleviate high blood pressure. a. How would CCB affect vascular smooth muscle contraction? And total peripheral resistance?
Select the correct answer for each question. Explain why you chose that answer as opposed to the others. In other words, explain why the other choices are incorrect.
The plateau phase of an action potential in cardiac muscle cells is due to the _____.
Efflux of K+ through K+ channels
Efflux of Ca2+ through fast Ca2+ channels
Influx of Ca2+ through slow Ca2+ channels
Influx of Na+ through fast Na+ channels

A when a person is resting only a few small motor units in each ventricle are activated in each heartbeat B all of the muscle cells in the ventricles depolarize and contract together because they are connected by gap junctions C motor neurons must synapse with all of the muscle cells in the ventricles at the same time or fibrillation will occur D all of the heart muscle cells have unstable resting membrane potenitals and slowly depolarize to threshold at the same ratearrow_forwardPatients with a history of heart failure often get this history from chronic hypertension. Chronic hypertension leads to a condition called hypertrophic heart disease, or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. This means that the heart muscle gets bigger, allowing less room for it to fill with blood.
