Electrical classification of cardiomyocytes, illustration
Illustration showing the electrical classification of cardiomyocytes. Fast response cells and slow response cells are classified according to their depolarization dependent ion channels. Automaticity refers to cells that can spontaneously produce action potentials. Both the fast and slow response cells have some autonomic cells. Under normal conditions, atrial and ventricular muscles are ordinary working muscle cells without automaticity., Creditline:CHONGQING TUMI TECHNOLOGY LTD/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY
