Discuss the following: 2.1. Discuss the control of excitation and conduction in the heart. 2.2. Discuss the acute control of local blood flow. 2.3. Discuss the sequence of events in which arterial pressure is increased by an increased extracellular fluid volume.
Added by Tracey B.
Step 1
The control of excitation and conduction in the heart is regulated by the electrical activity of specialized cells within the heart called cardiomyocytes. These cells have the ability to generate and conduct electrical impulses, which coordinate the contraction Show more…
