61
Phase 0 of cardiac action potential
Contractile cells are depolarised to threshold potential by the influx of Na and K through gap junctions. When threshold potential is reached (-70mV) sodium channels open to allow rapid depolarisation through influx of sodium into cell
62
Phase 1 of cardiac action potential
Sodium channels begin to close, therefore reduced influx of sodium Rapid open and closure of potassium channels, allows efflux of potassium Combined effect = brief depolarisation of the cell
63
Phase 2 of cardiac action potential
Potassium channels open again allowing efflux of potassium from the cell L-type calcium channels (activated by Na in phase 0) allow influx of calcium ions Depolarising potassium is electrically balanced by depolarising calcium and tapering sodium currents, results in a plateau (distinguishes cardiac AP from nerve and skeletal muscle) Influx of calcium triggers calcium release from sarcoplasmic reticulum, the intracellular calcium is responsible for cardiac myocyte contraction
64
Phase 3 of cardiac action potential
Rapid depolarisation occurs through closure of L-type calcium channels whilst potassium channels remain open, allowing more potassium to leave the cell and resulting in a net negative current Potassium channels close when membrane potential is restored to -85-90mV. Ionic pumps restore concentrations to levels from prior to AP
65
Phase 4 of cardiac action potential
Resting membrane potential of -90mV maintained through ionic pumps until stimulated to threshold potential.
