T/F: arterioles are muscular vessels
true
Local tissue blood flow can be regulated by the cells detecting the level of local nutrients. Low glucose or oxygen can trigger
precapillary sphincter to remain open
As the ventricular syncytium becomes excited during the cardiac cycle, the exterior of the muscles cells become more ___________ and this is what the ECG leads record
negative
A ventricular AP can be divided into 4 phases. Put the events in order
1) fast sodium channels open
2) fast sodium channels close
3) L type calcium channels open and fast potassium channels close
4) L type calcium channels close and slow potassium channels open
5) repolarize to rest, all channels closed
