Question

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?

Step 1

Action potentials in cardiac autorhythmic cells: - These cells are responsible for generating and conducting electrical impulses that initiate each heartbeat. - They have a unique property called automaticity, which means they can spontaneously depolarize and Show more…
