what is the difference between cardiac myocyte action potential and that of the CNS or ANS? nerve cell action potential is very short cardiac action potential is much longer they are longer to have adequate filling time in order to get a good contraction for a reasonable bolus of blood the only way this can happen is if the action potential is longer this will also mean that the refractory period will be longer What are the 5 phases of the non-pacemaker action potential? 0 - dep...

Pharmicodynamics What the body does to a drug What is the advantage to expressing drug dose as a log? -we can go from 0.01 ug to 100 ug in one graph -it allows us to express drug doses across a very wide range -it expands the concentration at the lower axis - our ability to look at the body's response at the lower doses - because all of the action is happening at the left side of the graph we want to be able to finely grade the graph on the side of the graph where the response ...
