The Different Mechanisms of Action Potential Propagation in the Heart
It was thought previously that cardiac muscle gap junctions provide low-resistance connections between cells and permit the local-circuit current to flow. Some evidences show that myocardial cells may not require low-resistance connections for successful propagation of the action potential (AP). It seems that some other types of mechanisms must be involved in AP propagation. In this article, we...

متن کاملAction Potential Propagation
In the previous notes, we described the action potential for a “point” cell, so that we could use an ODE model. Here, we consider propagation of the action potential along an axon. Consider a system in which the intracellular and extracellular spaces are separated by a cell membrane. Let x be the one-dimensional spatial coordinate, and consider current conservation in the intracellular region c...
متن کاملRobust ion current oscillations under a steady electric field: An ion channel analog.
We demonstrate a nonlinear, nonequilibrium field-driven ion flux phenomenon, which unlike Teorell's nonlinear multiple field theory, requires only the application of one field: robust autonomous current-mass flux oscillations across a porous monolith coupled to a capillary with a long air bubble, which mimics a hydrophobic protein in an ion channel. The oscillations are driven by the hysteretic...
متن کاملA Simulation Study of Ion Concentration, Electric Potential and Ion Current within Nation
The results of a Monte Carlo molecular simulation of a single pore Nafion are presented, showing the concentration of ions within a pore, the electric potential inside the pore, and an estimate of the ion current as a function of the pore construction with various applied external fields. The ion concentration and electric potential measurements are then compared with existing theoretical model...
