How can electrolyte imbalance control your heart function?
Electrolytes such as Sodium and potassium help the heart contract through a process called action potential. When the heart is at -60 MV the cell will open up allowing sodium into the cardiac cells causing a contraction. Look up action potential.
What type of of muscle is found only in the heart?
Cardiac muscle is found only in the heart. Cardiac muscle contains the proteins actin and myosin. All the other muscles are smooth or skeletal.
Why does a blood clot in the coronary artery prevent cells respiring normally?
Why a blood clot is the coronary artery stops the red blood cells from respiring normally
How does a stem cell become a heart organ?
what is the prosess of a stem cell becoming aheart
How many chromosomes are in a human heart cell?
Same as any other somatic cell - 46.
Where in a heart cell is calcium normally found?
Calcium is normally found out side of the cardica muscle cell, aswell as sodium. These can be found in large amounts. inside the cell is where potassium can be found.
Where in a heart cell is calcium normally stored?
Outside the cardiac muscle cell
Where is potassium found in a plant?
in every cell, it is the main electric regulator ion
What structure would normally be found in a plant cell but not in a animal cell?
Plants have a CELL WALL where animals do not.
What structures would normally be found in a plant cell but not in an animal cell?
Plants have a CELL WALL where animals do not.
What would normally be found in a plant cell but not in an animal cell?
Plant cells have chloroplasts, cell walls and vacuoles.
What do sodium potassium pumps pump?
The sodium-potassium pump (PDB entries 2zxe and 3b8e ) is found in our cellular membranes, where it is in charge of generating a gradient of ions. It continually pumps sodium ions out of the cell and potassium ions into the cell, powered by ATP.
What does the Na1 Ka1ATPase transport sodium and potassium into a cell sodium and potassium out of a cell sodium into cell potassium out of cell sodium out of cell potassium in ATP?
NaKATPase transports 3 K ions into the cell and takes only two Na ions out of it.
What ion is found on the inside of a neuron?
The main ions found inside a neuron are potassium and organic anions. The organic anions cannot cross the cell membrane but potassium ions can. It is the diffusion of potassium ions out of the cell which is the main cause of the resting membrane potential.
Ions inside and outside the cell?
What ions are found on the outside and on the inside of an axon
What is normally found in the vacuole of a cell?
vacuoles are filled with water cell sap which contains food,cell secretions,and wastes
Chromosomes normally occur as homologous pairs in?
Chromosomes normally occur as homologous pairs in a diploid cell. These refers to matching pairs of chromosomes which are found in the cell.
