What else can I help you with?
Which structure is responsible for keeping the myocardial cells together during contraction?
desmosomes
What does stretching a myocardial cell cause the cell to do?
Stretching a myocardial cell allows more Ca+2 into the cell and increases the force of contraction (the longer the muscle fiber when it begins to contract, the greater the force of contraction).
What are the two types of tissue repair?
The two types of tissue repair are regeneration, where damaged tissue is replaced with new functional tissue, and fibrosis, where damaged tissue is replaced with scar tissue made of collagen fibers. Regeneration is ideal as it restores normal tissue function, while fibrosis can lead to loss of function depending on the extent of scarring.
Action potentials pass from one myocardial cell to another through areas of low electrical resistance called?
gap junctions. These specialized connections allow for rapid and coordinated depolarization of cardiac muscle cells, ensuring efficient contraction of the heart.
How is cardiac cycle affected by MI?
Myocardial infarction (MI) can disrupt the normal cardiac cycle by causing damage to the heart muscle, leading to impaired contraction and relaxation. This can result in diminished cardiac output, arrhythmias, and heart failure. The severity of these effects depends on the location and extent of the heart damage.
When does the following terms describes myocardial contraction and relaxation?

What would the parasympathetic nervous system do to the myocardial contraction strength?
Decrease it
Which layer of the heart is responsible for contraction and relaxation?
Myocardial layer
Which structure is responsible for keeping the myocardial cells together during contraction?
desmosomes
Which Ion is principally responsible for myocardial excitation-contraction coupling?
the Ca++ ion
What happens in the heart when an action potential is generated in the SA node?
Myocardial contraction
What has the author Shafie Fazel written?
Shafie Fazel has written: 'Cardiac repair and not regeneration after myocardial infarction'
Why does pericarditis cause a reduction in cardiac output?
because the force of myocardial contraction weakens
What is the thin filament of the myocardial cell?
The thin filament of a myocardial cell is composed primarily of actin, tropomyosin, and troponin proteins. These proteins play a crucial role in regulating the contraction and relaxation of the heart muscle by interacting with the thick filament during the process of muscle contraction.
Pertaining to heart muscle?
Myocardial systole means heart contraction.
What does stretching a myocardial cell cause the cell to do?
Stretching a myocardial cell allows more Ca+2 into the cell and increases the force of contraction (the longer the muscle fiber when it begins to contract, the greater the force of contraction).
What is myocardial contractility?
Cardiac contractility is the force of contraction possible for any given length of the cardiac muscle. It is related to the intracellular calcium levels.
