Document Summary

Example: riding a bike (blood flow to legs increase, blood flow to internal organs decrease) 20. 5 histology elongated, branching cells containing 1-2 centrally located nuclei. Contains actin and myosin myofilaments (force production: a lot of mechanical energy to get blood flowing through systemic circulation. To get actin and myosin to form chem bonds we need calcium released from sr. Sodium and calcium have larger concentrations outside cell than inside. Outer shells have lost lone electrons making them charged particles give off electric field (what we have across the cell) Set up a concentration gradient which influences movement of ions move down concentration gradient, tendency to move into cell to balance out distribution. When they move in large numbers, it changes electrical enviro inside cell depolarization. Potassium found mostly inside cell not outside influence of potassium outside cell potentially fatal condition with respect to cardiac tissue, keep k+ inside cell.
