Resource summary
Heart Myocytes
Stimulation from parasympathetic nervous system
Acetylcholine acts on metabotropic, muscarinic receptors in the heart
G-Protein is activated
Effector protein is a K+ ion channel (stimulated to open)
K+ ions flow out of the cell (down their concentration gradient)
Increases negativity inside the cell (hyperpolarisation)
Leads to decreased contraction
