Answer:
1. spontaneously
2. resting potential
3. action potentials
4. pacemaker potentials
5. K+
6. Na+
7. into
8. Ca+
Explanation:
Pacemaker cells (also known as sinoatrial node cells) are cells that generate rhythmic impulses and set the pace for blood pumping in the heart. These cells have the ability to rhythmically depolarize and initiate action potentials. In pacemaker cells, Ca2+ and Na+ levels are higher in the extracellular environment, while K+ concentration is higher intracellularly. The pacemaker action potentials have three phases: 1-depolarization, where membrane potential reaches -40 mV and voltage-gated Ca2+ channels open, 2-repolarization, where voltage-gated Ca2+ channels close and voltage-gated K+ channels open, and finally 3-gradual depolarization, which is caused by the slow influx of Na+ ions.
Answer: Certain pathogens enter and multiply within the human body.
Explanation:
Infection or invasion of a pathogen inside the body of the human host does not necessary causes the disease. Instead the multiplication and colonization of these pathogens inside the body of the human host is responsible for disease. This is because of the fact that the pathogen's cells multiply and invade the healthy cells of the human host. This process weaken up the host immune system. This process leads to the occurrence of signs and symptoms of the disease.
