Q

The heart is said to work functionally as a Syncitium. What does this mean?

A

That the heart should work as if its only one cell. If you do something to one cell it happens to them all.

Q

How are intercalated disks held together?

A

Tough tight junctions (to withstand pressure) Gap junctions to allow the passage of ions for electrical stimuli.

Q

What happens in phase 3 non pacemaker tissue?

A

There are 2 K+ channels (Ikr & Iks). The first 1 Ikr this allows potassium to leak in holding the plataeu and then the other channels open reversing this and letting K+ flood out of the cell making it more negative.

17
Q

What is phase 4 in Non-pacemaker tissue?

A

Resting membrane potential

18
Q

What phases are missing in Pacemaker cells?

A

1 & 2

19
Q

What happens in phase 3 of pacemaker cells?

A

Potassium comes back in

20
Q

Where does the Basal Caloric get its energy?

A

60% fats

35% oxidation of Carbs

5% oxidation of amino acids & ketone bodies
