  • www.interactive-biology.com - In this episode, I talk about how the Pacemaker Potential results in the signal that causes the heart to beat. I show how the greater conductance for Sodium ions in the Pacemaker Cells in the S.A. Node cause the cells to depolarize, opening voltage-gated Calcium channels when the membrane potential reaches threshold. This results in the action potential. Then Potassium channel open, letting Potassium ions leave, repolarizing the cells.

    Thank you. You just saved me a possible 40 minutes trying to figure out what my textbook is trying to tell me haha, 20 minutes of aimlessly staring into the pages and another 20 trying to read half latin/greek derived words. You display complex effects in simple terms and still manage to include all the crucial information.

    This video simplified the SA/VA sequence perfectly! I think I'll stop reading my A & P text book, and instead, watch every video you have created. Thank you for making this process interesting instead of complicated!

    You save my life. I'm a working child and I end up missing a lot of class so these videos really really help me. Plus, you make things easy to understand and give a reason for everything which in turn makes it super easy to follow.

    Thank you for your help. I'm a paramedic student and you broke down the depolarizing-repolarizing ion involvement very well for me to understand (we are currently beginning to analyze ECGs).

    I've been watching a few video of yours on the heart and have managed to learn more from you in a few simple minutes than I have all semester. Thank you so much for your hard work and effort it truly shows and I seriously appreciate you and wish you everything good in this world. Thanks to you I'll be able to ace my exam next week. You've literally taught and helped out so many future students, nurses and doctors!

  • @thealmassi1
    @thealmassi1 Před 11 lety +1

    There are two types of cardiac muscles: contractile muscle cells and autorhythmic muscle cells. Contractile cells make up 90% of muscle cells in the heart and autorhythmic cells make up 10% in the nodes. Autorhythmic muscle cells start the action potentials from the SA and AV nodes that disseminate into contractile cells causing them to contract. InteractiveBiology described the action potential of autorhythmic cells, you described contractile cells. Hope this helped :P

  • @InteractiveBiology
    @InteractiveBiology  Před 13 lety

    @petercourt That's a great question. I'm actually not sure that I know the answer to that one. I tried looking it up, but couldn't find that. My assumption would be that there is a Calcium pump in the membrane that pumps it back out. That would make sense and would cause there to be a driving force for Calcium ions to move back into the cell.

  • @veganthestephen
    @veganthestephen Před 12 lety

    I like your series of videos but in this case, you really should explain how the Na+/K+ pump works in the pacemaker cell first to set up the potential gradient before the voltage sensitive K+ channels close while the Na+ is still pumped out. At this negative membrane potential, the Na+ starts to flow into the cell against the concentration gradient by diffusion, thus activating the potential of the cell which is the cause leading to -40mV where Ca+2 ions start flooding in.
