Cardiac Action Potential Flashcards
Ventricular action potential has … phases
4phases 0 1 2 3 4
Phase 0 is …
Caused due to….
Early depolarisation
Na+ influx
Phase 1
Early repolarization
K+ efflux
Phase 2
Plateau phase
K+ efflux= Ca+ influx(L-type)
Ltype Ca+ closes at the end of phase2
Phase3
Late repolarization
K+ efflux
Phase4
Resting membrane potential
Na+ —k+ pump
Dromotropy
Property of conduction
Chronotropy
Heart rate
Inotropy
Myocardial contractility
Ventricular action potential
Bathmotropy
Cardiac excitability
Lucitropy
Cardiac relaxation
Sa node responsible for ….
Automacity
Automacity?
Ability to generate impulse even in the absence of external stimulus
Sa nodal potential( max)
100/min
….. reduces Sa nodal potential from 100 to 72/min
Parasympathetic system
Via resting vagal tone
