  2. Purkinje fibers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purkinje_fibers

    The Purkinje fibers, named for Jan Evangelista Purkyně, (English: / p ɜːr ˈ k ɪ n dʒ i / pur-KIN-jee; [1] Czech: [ˈpurkɪɲɛ] ⓘ; Purkinje tissue or subendocardial branches) are located in the inner ventricular walls of the heart, [2] just beneath the endocardium in a space called the subendocardium.

  3. Quark - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quark

    Quarks have fractional electric charge values – either (− ⁠ 1 / 3 ⁠) or (+ ⁠ 2 / 3 ⁠) times the elementary charge (e), depending on flavor. Up, charm, and top quarks (collectively referred to as up-type quarks) have a charge of + ⁠ 2 / 3 ⁠ e; down, strange, and bottom quarks (down-type quarks) have a charge of − ⁠ 1 / 3 ⁠ e.

  4. Cardiac conduction system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_conduction_system

    A slow heart rate of 60 or less beats per minute is defined as bradycardia. A fast heart rate of more than 100 beats per minute is defined as tachycardia. An arrhythmia is defined as one that is not physiological such as the lowered heart rate that a trained athlete may naturally have developed; the resting heart rates may be less than 60 bpm.

  5. Anatomy of the human heart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomy_of_the_human_heart

    The heart is a muscular organ situated in the mediastinum.It consists of four chambers, four valves, two main arteries (the coronary arteries), and the conduction system. The left and right sides of the heart have different functions: the right side receives de-oxygenated blood through the superior and inferior venae cavae and pumps blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery, and the left ...

  6. 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]

  7. Quark model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quark_model

    All quarks are assigned a baryon number of ⁠ 1 / 3 ⁠. Up, charm and top quarks have an electric charge of + ⁠ 2 / 3 ⁠, while the down, strange, and bottom quarks have an electric charge of − ⁠ 1 / 3 ⁠. Antiquarks have the opposite quantum numbers. Quarks are spin-⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ particles, and thus fermions. Each quark or antiquark ...

  8. Bottom quark - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bottom_quark

    The bottom quark, beauty quark, or b quark, is an elementary particle of the third generation.It is a heavy quark with a charge of − ⁠ 1 / 3 ⁠ e.. All quarks are described in a similar way by electroweak interaction and quantum chromodynamics, but the bottom quark has exceptionally low rates of transition to lower-mass quarks.

  9. Color charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_charge

    Color charge is a property of quarks and gluons that is related to the particles' strong interactions in the theory of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). Like electric charge, it determines how quarks and gluons interact through the strong force; however, rather than there being only positive and negative charges, there are three "charges", commonly called red, green, and blue.
