critical care nursing a holistic approach Questions
and Answers Revised Analyzed and Graded A+
automaticity - CORRECT ANSWER ✔️✔️ -the ability of specialized cells in the heart known as
the pacemaker cells to spontaneously generate an action potential, thus causing depolarization
cardiac muscle cells - CORRECT ANSWER ✔️✔️ -SACCER striated, automaticity, conductivity,
contractivity, exciability, rhythmicity
conductivity - CORRECT ANSWER ✔️✔️ -the ability of cardiac cells to conduct action
potentials, thus transmitting the electrical signal from one cell to another
contractility - CORRECT ANSWER ✔️✔️ -the ability of cardiac muscle to shorten in response to
depolarization
excitability - CORRECT ANSWER ✔️✔️ -the ability of cardiac tissue to respond to a stimulus
and generate an action potential
rhythmicity - CORRECT ANSWER ✔️✔️ -the ability of cardiac cells to spontaneously generate
an action potential at a regular rate.
