  2. Cardiac action potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_action_potential

    (A brief chemical gradient driven efflux of Na+ through the connexon at peak depolarization causes the conduction of cell to cell depolarization, not potassium.) [27] These connections allow for the rapid conduction of the action potential throughout the heart and are responsible for allowing all of the cells in the atria to contract together ...

  3. Depolarization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depolarization

    Depolarization is essential to the function of many cells, communication between cells, and the overall physiology of an organism. Action potential in a neuron, showing depolarization, in which the cell's internal charge becomes less negative (more positive), and repolarization, where the internal charge returns to a more negative value.

  4. HCN channel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HCN_channel

    HCN4 is the main isoform expressed in the sinoatrial node, but low levels of HCN1 and HCN2 have also been reported.The current through HCN channels, called the pacemaker current (I f), plays a key role in the generation and modulation of cardiac rhythmicity, [13] as they are responsible for the spontaneous depolarization in pacemaker action potentials in the heart.

  5. Ventricular action potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventricular_action_potential

    The action potential of a ventricular myocyte. In electrocardiography, the ventricular cardiomyocyte membrane potential is about −90 mV at rest, [1] which is close to the potassium reversal potential. When an action potential is generated, the membrane potential rises above this level in five distinct phases. [1]

  6. Junctional rhythm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junctional_rhythm

    When this happens, the heart's atrioventricular node or bundle of His can take over as the pacemaker, starting the electrical signal that causes the heart to beat. [ 1 ] [ 5 ] Depending on where the rhythm originates in the AV node, the atria can contract before ventricular contraction due to retrograde conduction , during ventricular ...

  7. Atrioventricular node - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrioventricular_node

    Isolated heart conduction system showing atrioventricular node. The AV node receives two inputs from the right atrium: posteriorly, via the crista terminalis, and anteriorly, via the interatrial septum. [8] Contraction of heart muscle cells requires depolarization and repolarization of their cell membranes. Movement of ions across cell ...
