    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_Condition_(film)

    Heart Condition is a 1990 American comedy film starring Bob Hoskins, Denzel Washington and Chloe Webb. Denzel Washington stars as Napoleon Stone, a lawyer, and Bob Hoskins stars as Jack Moony, a police officer. The two rivals compete in the same work force area in their community to help bring down drug rate.

  3. Pacemaker current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacemaker_current

    The funny current is highly expressed in spontaneously active cardiac regions, such as the sinoatrial node (SAN, the natural pacemaker region), the atrioventricular node (AVN) and the Purkinje fibres of conduction tissue. The funny current is a mixed sodium–potassium current that activates upon hyperpolarization at voltages in the diastolic ...

  4. Cardiac action potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_action_potential

    In the heart's conduction system electrical activity that originates from the sinoatrial node (SAN) is propagated via the His-Purkinje network, the fastest conduction pathway within the heart. The electrical signal travels from the sinoatrial node, which stimulates the atria to contract, to the atrioventricular node (AVN) , which slows down ...

  5. Cardiac pacemaker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_pacemaker

    It employs pacemaker cells that produce electrical impulses, known as cardiac action potentials, which control the rate of contraction of the cardiac muscle, that is, the heart rate. In most humans, these cells are concentrated in the sinoatrial (SA) node , the primary pacemaker, which regulates the heart’s sinus rhythm .

    Well, they're chock full of 'em. Take Monty Python's "The Holy Grail," for instance. Pretty much every funny movie quote from the 1975 film is still as hilarious as it was back in 1975. Maybe more ...

  7. Myocardial contractility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myocardial_contractility

    An increase in sympathetic stimulation to the heart increases contractility and heart rate. An increase in contractility tends to increase stroke volume and thus a secondary increase in preload. An increase in preload results in an increased force of contraction by Starling's law of the heart; this does not require a change in contractility.

  8. Heart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart

    The heart is a muscular organ found in humans and other animals. This organ pumps blood through the blood vessels. [1] Heart and blood vessels together make the circulatory system. [2] The pumped blood carries oxygen and nutrients to the tissue, while carrying metabolic waste such as carbon dioxide to the lungs. [3]

  9. Cardiac excitation-contraction coupling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_excitation...

    This rate can be altered, however, by nerves that work to either increase heart rate (sympathetic nerves) or decrease it (parasympathetic nerves), as the body's oxygen demands change. Ultimately, muscle contraction revolves around a charged atom (ion) , calcium (Ca 2+ ) , [ 3 ] which is responsible for converting the electrical energy of the ...
