PNS
26
What is phase 0 of an action potential of a contractile monocyte?
Opening of Na+ channels
27
What is phase 1 of an action potential of a contractile monocyte?
K+ channels open and Na+ channels inactivate
28
What is phase 2 of an action potential of a contractile monocyte?
L-type Ca++ channels open
29
When does K+ outflow balance influx Ca++ causing repolarization plateau
When L-type Ca++ channels open
30
What is responsible for initiation of contraction?
Influx of Ca++ from L-type Ca++ channels
31
What is phase 3 of an action potential of a contractile monocyte?
More K+ channels open and Ca++ channels close
32
What is phase 4 of an action potential of a contractile monocyte?
