Depolarization - answer✔The movement of ions (Na+ K+ Ca+) across cell membrane causing inside of
the cell to become more positive; an electrical event which results in a contraction.
Sodium channels open up and sodium pours in
• The charges reverse • Positive inside• Negative outside
Repolarization - answer✔The movement of ions across cell membrane in which the inside of the cell is

Sodium channels
close. Potassium
channels open. •Potassium pours out
allows for a quick return of resting state
•Sodium is kicked out of the cell
•Active transport Sodium-potassium pump
Automaticity - answer✔-ability of pacemaker cells to spontaneously initiate an electrical
impulse, SA Node, AV junction and Purkinje fibers.
Excitability - answer✔-ability of muscle cells to respond to outside stimulus
Conductivity - answer✔-ability to receive an electrical stimulus and conduct that impulse to
adjacent cells - all cardiac cells possess this.
Contraction - answer✔cardiac cells shorten, causing muscular contraction in response to an electrical
stimulus.
SA node - answer✔Fastest rate of automaticity. "Primary" pacemaker of the heart. Rate: 60 to 100 beat
per minute.
