Why does the addition of sodium chloride elicit an action potential?
Wiki User
∙ 15y ago
Adding sodium chloride increases the concentration of sodium ions outside of the cell. This means that the concentration gradient is increased even more than what is usually the resting potential and with that as the driving force, a action potential occurs the same way as if the channels opened up from an electropotential.

What is the cause of compensatory pause after an extrasystole?
Extrasystole is due to the irregular contraction of the ventricle before the atria. When this happens, an action potential is elicited and the ventricle contracts. The action potential had a refractory period, during which the intrinsic heart rate attempts to fire but cannot elicit a contraction. This is why extrasystole is often referred to as skipping a beat. The compensatory pause is the time it takes for the beat to resume normal contraction.
