e. On the graph below, draw the action potential of a cell in her SA node before training and during training (include axis label). Briefly, explain the signaling mechanism of why this change occurs and then what is the overall response of the heart (specific to this cell). Membrane Potential Vrest f. Now explain the effect on a cardiac muscle cell: what is the signaling mechanism and overall response of the heart (that is specific to this cell)?

Action potentials (APs) in the sinoatrial (SA) node and ventricular cells of the heart are different. Draw two graphs (time vs. membrane potential) that display these two types of AP and indicate the major permeant ion (K+, Na+ or Ca2+) during each phase (4 labels on each AP). Comment on why the APs are different given the function of these cells in the heart.

Please compare and contrast action potentials in cardiac autorhythmic cells and cardiac contractile cells, including drawings to illustrate your discussion. Would increased sympathetic nervous system activity affect either of these cells? If so, please describe how, including the cellular mechanism that produces the effect. What effect(s) would this have on overall cardiac function?

Construct a graphical representation of information as a function of time during the transduction of a signal along a signaling pathway. A. Use your graph to describe trends in the amount of information rather than the actual magnitude. In sketching your graph, consider how the shape of the curve would change during these events: $$\begin{array}{l}{\text { i. extracellular first messenger }} \\ {\text { ii. } \text {receptor binding} \text { and conformational changes }}\\ {\text { iii. } \text { release of second messengers }} \\ {\text { iv. } \text { cellular responses }} \\ {\text { v. halt signal and degrade intermediates }} \end{array}$$ B. Annotate your representation for a specific signaling system, such as the effect of epinephrine on the free energy released from glucose.
