What's the definition of a capacitor?
Separation of charge by time and space.
Write out the Nernst Equation:
Eq Potential = 61.5*log([inside] / [outside])
What would the net potential across a membrane be if NO channels were present?
The membrane potential would be zero.
What is responsible for Phase Four of the cycle?
Potassium current is responsible for phase four.
What is responsible for Phase Zero of the cycle?
Sodium influx is responsible for Phase Zero of the cycle
What is responsible for Phase One of the cycle?
Potassium efflux is responsible for Phase One of the cycle.
What is responsible for Phase Two of the cycle?
Calcium influx is responsible for Phase Two of the cycle.
What is responsible for Phase Three of the cycle?

Depolarization of what structure is responsible for a P-Wave on an EKG?
Depolarization of the Atria makes up the P wave.
In what direction does depolarization run inside the heart?
Depolarization runs from the inside out.
In what direction does repolarization run inside the heart?
Repolarization runs from the outside in.
If a depolarization approaches a positive electrode, what direction does the needle deflect?
Positive.
Can an EKG detect unchanging voltages within the heart?
No. Only moving current may be detected by an EKG.
What is single downward deflection (where a QRS might be) called?
It's called a QS wave
