•Automaticity -pacemaker cells spontaneously initiate impulse.
Excitability- {•Sinoatrial (SA) node is dominant pacemaker 60-100
•Conductivity •Atrioventricular (AV) node is backup at 40-59}
•Refractoriness -myocardial cells respond
•Contractility -transmission of impulse cell to cell in heart
-inability to respond following depolarization
-myocardial fibers shorten in response to stimulus. Mechanical response to
the other 4 electrical responses.
Conductivity-transmission of impulse cell to cell in -transmission of impulse cell to cell in heart
