What is miocardia?
Miocardia is the decreasing heart volume during systolic contraction. The rhythmic contraction of the heart, especially the ventricles, via which the blood is returned/ pushed through the aorta and pulmonary artery after each diostole.
What are auto-rhythmic cells?
(pacemakers) refers to the cardiac muscle cells responsible for synchronizing the contractile cells to coordinate a heart contraction.
What does auto rhythmic mean?
Autorhythmic cells (pacemakers) refers to the cardiac muscle cells responsible for synchronizing the contractile cells to coordinate a heart contraction.
Movement that allows the food to travel downwards along the oesophagus?

What is the definition of the term tremor?
The definition of the term "tremor" is an involuntary and somewhat rhythmic muscular contraction and relaxation. Often tremors involve one or more body parts.
What causes rhythmic beating of the heart?
When blood and air is tranferred into the heart, the heart has to start beating unless we are dead.The rhythmic beating of the heart is maintained by the Sinoatrial node (80-100 beats/minute), the Atrioventricular node (40-60 beats/minute) or the Purkinje fibers (20-40 beats/minute). It involves the membrane potential of specialized myocardial cells in these parts. Once regions of the heart are fully depolarized (such as the ventricles), contraction follows. Immediately following depolarization comes repolarization, and thus the cycle can repeat itself.How_is_the_rhythmic_beating_of_the_heart_maintained
How do smooth muscles and sphincters keep food moving in one direction throughout the digestive system?
by peristalsis which is the rhythmic, involuntary contraction of the smooth muscles in the walls of digestive organs.
