Pregunta 4
Pregunta
The SA node, is always in transient state towards hyperpolarisation. This causes activation of the funny Na+ channels allowing an influx of Na+. K+ channels close slowly allowing threshold to be reached. The next step is?
Respuesta

Opening of transient Na+ channels and opening of transient calcium channels

The auto-rhythmic cells of the SA node set the pace of the heart at [blank_start]70-80[blank_end] BPM, in the presence of parasympathetic tone. These cells have the fastest rhythm at controlling heart rate. The cells of the AV node are [blank_start]slower[blank_end] and set a rhythm of 40-[blank_start]60BPM[blank_end].
