Automaticity


The heart can contract by itself, independent of any signals or stimulation
from the body; this property is termed automaticity. Depolarization is the
reversal of the resting potential in excitable cardiac muscle cell membranes
when stimulated. Conduction is the process by which an electrical impulse
is transmitted through the heart. Repolarization is the process by which the
membrane potential of a cardiac muscle cell is restored to the cell's resting
potential.
