True or false: Cardiac muscles are like any striated muscle they have mechanical and electrical coupling.
|
False: mechanical and electrical coupling is unique to Cardiac muscles.
|
|
True or false: the fast action potential phases are:
phase 0: sodium enters. Phase 1: sodium channels are inactivated. calcium enters. Phase 2: calcium entering the cell potassium exiting. Phase 3: only voltage gated potassium channels are open and re polarization is happening. Phase 4: back to resting membrane potential. |
True.

|
True or false: the refractory period in heart muscles is 0-180 msec.
|
False: it is the absolute refractory period.
|
|
True or false: the relative refractory period in the heart muscles is 180-200 msec.
|
True.
|
|
True or false: the heart muscle can't have fused tetanus because it contracts in unison.
|
False: it can't have fused tetanus because the action potential and the twitch duration is almost the same duration.
