L-Type Ca Channel Blockers
-Phase 0 AP - --Depolarization
-Rapid Na+ Channels are stimulated to open, flooding the cell with positive
sodium ions.
-Depolarizatoin of one cell triggers the Na+ channels in surrounding cells to
open causing wave of propogation.
-Phase 1 AP - --Initial Stage of Repolarization
-Inactivation of the fast Na+ Channels
-Phase 2 AP - --Plateau Phase
-Sustained by a balance between inward movement of Ca2+ through L-type
calcium channels (opened in response to depolarization) and outward
movement of K+ through the slow K+ channel.
-Reduced potassium ion permeability
-Phase 3 AP - --Rapid Repolarization Phase
-Ca2+ channels close
-Slow K+ remains open
-Ionic pumps restore ion concentrations back to balanced states of pre-AP
-Phase 4 AP - --Resting Membrane Potential
-Alpha Adrenergic Receptor site effect - -Vasoconstriction
-Beta-1 Adrenergic Receptor site effect - -Cardiac Stimulation
We have 1 heart, 2 lungs.
