The property that allows any cell in the cardiac muscle to begin an action potential, or a cardiac conduction, leading to cardiac contraction.
It is the ability of the heart to send an electrical impulse on its own.
Yes, it is.

to quickly and accurately recognize words is referred to as automaticity
Type your answer here... your heart pumps oxygenated blood to cells throughout the body...and every cell needs oxygen to stay "alive". Cells are the foundation of every part of your body of course including organs...without oxygen the cells will die and thus you die without it...a primary example is when a person is choking and cannot breathe (supplying oxygen) to the heart your body (cells) begin to die....CPR Cardiopulminary Resusitation can potentially save someone from death by both supplying oxygen by breathing into the mouth and thus into the lungs and reviving the heart to supply this oxygen throughout the body
Adrenaline is a horomone that is known as the "fight or flight" response. This means that the horomone prepares your body for shock (ie. the adrenaline speeds up the heart and breathing to give you enough energy to run if necessary). Therefore, the adrenaline is given to try and speed up the heart or to get it beating if stopped.
The heart muscles are specialized muscles. The fibers are a structural syncitium, meaning they behave as one. There are gap junctions between them allowing them to propagateaction potentials with ease. These muscles also have automaticity, a property that enable them to generate impulses on their own. In addition, they conduct action potentials very well.Leg muscles and other skeletal muscles lack automaticity and the electrical properties are different. Hence, it is not possible to construct a 'beating' heart with them. However, they (leg muscles) may be instructed to go back in time: to form 'stem cells'. These stem cells may then be groomed to grow into cardiac myocytes, by the proper expression of respective genes.
Cardiac muscle, like other muscles, can contract, but it can also carry an action potential (i.e. conduct electricity), like the neurons that constitute nerves. Furthermore, some of the cells have the ability to generate an action potential, known as cardiac muscle automaticity. (Some cells can make the heart beat on its own.) This doesn't occur in any other type of muscle tissue. This ability can keep the heart pumping even under disease conditions.
Cardiac muscle has what is called "autorhymicity", if it is not stimulated by a higher level brain center, it will stimulate itself. Ayraayra: The correct term is acutally automaticity.
