  2. Hemiacetal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemiacetal

    In organic chemistry, a hemiacetal is a functional group the general formula R 1 R 2 C(OH)OR, where R 1, R 2 is a hydrogen atom or an organic substituent. They generally result from the nucleophilic addition of an alcohol (a compound with at least one hydroxy group ) to an aldehyde ( R−CH=O ) or a ketone ( R 2 C=O ) under acidic conditions.

  3. Hemithioacetal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemithioacetal

    Hemithioacetal functional group. In organic chemistry, hemithioacetals (or thiohemiacetals) are organosulfur compounds with the general formula R−CH(−OH)−SR’.They are the sulfur analogues of the acetals, R−CH(−OH)−OR’, with an oxygen atom replaced by sulfur (as implied by the thio-prefix).

  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 ...

    The whole mechanism of acetal formation from hemiacetal is drawn below. Acid catalyzed acetal formation from the corresponding hemiacetal Acetals, as already pointed out, are stable tetrahedral intermediates so they can be used as protective groups in organic synthesis.

  6. Cardiac physiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_physiology

    Cardiac physiology or heart function is the study of healthy, unimpaired function of the heart: involving blood flow; myocardium structure; the electrical conduction system of the heart; the cardiac cycle and cardiac output and how these interact and depend on one another.

  7. 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 ...

  8. Carbohydrate acetalisation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbohydrate_acetalisation

    D-ribose in itself is a hemiacetal and in equilibrium with the pyranose 3. In aqueous solution ribose is 75% pyranose and 25% furanose and a different acetal 4 is formed. Selective acetalization of carbohydrate and formation of acetals possessing atypical properties is achieved by using arylsulfonyl acetals.

  9. 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]
