Determine whether each statement correctly describes the myocardial action potential and the pacemaker potential. 1. Because the

pacemaker potential occurs during systole, it can also be called systolic potential. (Click to select) 2. The pacemaker potential is the relatively slow, spontaneous depolarization in the SA node. (Click to select) 3. Myocardial cells produce their own action potentials after being stimulated by action potentials originating in the SA node. (Click to select) 4. Myocardial action potentials are characterized by a spike and then slow depolarization. (Click to select)

Answer:

1. False

2. True

3. True

4. False

Explanation:

In mammals, the contraction of the heart muscle is caused by pacemaker cells localized within the sinoatrial (SA) node. These cells rhythmically generate slow electrically-induced action potentials due to their slow rate of depolarization. The pacemaker cells generate the action potentials that propagate through the heart and trigger the contraction of myocyte cells (i.e., myocytes simply conduct the action potential waves). The slow depolarization of pacemaker cells occurs during diastole, i.e., during the period of relaxation of the heart muscle.

Which is not true of gene expression?
MrRissso [65]

In simple terms, Gene expression can be stated as the process by which the heredity details in a gene sequence a be made into a functional gene.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • The odd one for this question is probably would be "it occurs because of cellular signals within your body".
  • It explains how a cell functions. In Gene expression, the gene encodes the protein and the message from DNA to RNA gives the cell functions.
  • It is the specific combination of genes that are turned on or off. It can be stated as the process of turning off and turning on, it acts as a switch to on and off it is known as the gene expression or gene regulation.
  • It creates different DNA within each of your cell types. The unique design of gene expression results in unique and different combinations of proteins and makes each cell types.
