In this article we will discuss about the monophasic and biphasic types of action potential. Type # 1. Monophasic Action Potential: To record a monophasic action potential, one of the recording electrodes should be in ECF and the other in ICF. For biphasic action potential recording, both the recording electrodes can be placed either in ECF or ICF. The depolarization [...]
In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Meaning of the Cardiac Muscle 2. Properties of the Cardiac Muscle 3. Action Potential. Meaning of the Cardiac Muscle: The muscle is involuntary and striated. The muscle fibers repeatedly branch and interdigitate. Wherever these branches come in contact an intercalated disk present, it will maintain continuity with the surrounding fibers through gap [...]
Cardiovascular system deals with study of heart and blood vessels. The human heart is made up 4 chambers namely; 2 atria and 2 ventricles. Atria are thin-walled chambers. Right atrium receives venous blood from peripheral parts of body. The venous blood is brought to right atrium by superior and inferior vena cavae. Left atrium receives oxygenated blood from lungs.
