the membrane potential to reach the threshold potential at which it fires the next action potential (pacemaker potential). Thus‚ the pacemaker potential is what drives the self-generated rhythmic firing. This is known as cardiac muscle automaticity.[2] Pacemaker potentials are fired by sinoatrial node (SAN)‚ but also by the other foci. However‚ the last ones have firing frequencies slower than the SAN’s. When other foci attempt to fire at their intrinsic rate‚ they can’t because they have been

Fantastic Voyage Kaplan University The body is a very complex mechanism. There are many different veins and arteries that flow throughout the body. With there being many different veins and arteries throughout the body there are multiple paths to get to the lower lobe of the lung. In this paper we will discuss how to get from the femoral vein to the lower lobe of the lung. The path that I have chosen to discuss to get to the lower lobe of the lung from the femoral vein involves

Unit 1- Principles of Anatomy and Physiology Functions of the skeletal system There are five main functions of the skeletal system. To protect‚ to support‚ movement‚ cell production and storage. The skeletal system protects delicate and important organs from harm. An example of this is the ribcage. This protects your heart and lungs from anything that tries to harm it. Another example is the brain. The brain is protected by the skull. The skeletal system also provides support for the body as it

our body is exactly offset by their loss. When acid–base balance occurs‚ the pH of body fluids stays within normal limits. Stopping a reduction in pH is the main problem‚ because our body produces a variety of acids during normal metabolic tasks. 2. Why does maintaining fluid balance in older people require a higher water intake than in a normal‚ healthy adult under age 40? Water encompasses 55% in elderly people and is vital for cellular homeostasis and life. With respect to heat stress‚ water
