a pacemaker that initiated each contraction of a heart beat
"Autorhythmic cells: cardiac or smooth muscle fibers that are self-excitable; act as the heart's pacemaker and conduct the pacing impulse through the conduction system of the heart; self-excitable neurons in central nervous system,as in the inspiratory area of the brain stem." -Principles of Anotomy and physiology, TORTORA, DERRICKSON, 11th edition, Wiley & sons, Inc. (c) 2006 by bio. Sci. textbooks, Inc. and Bryan Derrickson
What else can I help you with?
What is the rhythmicity center of the brain?
Medulla Oblongata
How can the word circadian be used in a sentence?
working on my circadian rhythmicity
What is the rhythmicity heart?
The heart is the only organ containing cardiac muscle
The rhythmicity center a sort of pacemaker that sets the rhythm of automatic breathing is located in the?
medulla oblongata, in the brain stem.
What has the author Christopher John McCabe written?
Christopher John McCabe has written: 'Genetic aspects of rhythmicity in Drosophila melanogaster'
What are the Seven special properties of cardiac muscle?
- rhythmicity : capability of rhythmic self-excitation therefore no need for external control -conductivity: conduction of action potential along specialised muscle cells. -excitability: ability of muscle fibers to get exited . -contractility; ability of cardiac muscle to contract . It also has a long refractory period meaning it cant tetanus
What has the author Kenneth Clarke Fisher written?
Kenneth Clarke Fisher has written: 'Heart rhythmicity of embryo fish. 1. The effect of temperature on te hear rate of trout embryos'
Where is th respiratory rhythmicity center located?
there is a specific group of cells found in the medula (part of the brain stem) which regulate the rhythm of breathing, hence the name (of this cellular formation) the Medulary Rhythmicity Center.
The term means the cells set their own rhythm?
The term referring to cells setting their own rhythm is called "endogenous rhythmicity." This phenomenon describes the ability of cells to generate and maintain their own inherent biological rhythm, such as the circadian rhythm in organisms. This internal clock allows cells to coordinate various physiological processes independently of external cues.
What is auto-rhythmicity?
Autorhythmicity is the tendency for the sinoatrial node of the heart to have a low threshold for depolarization leading to the heart contracting on a regular basis, i.e. in a regular rhythm, without external stimulus from the nervous system.
What is involuntary muscle found inside many internal organs of the body?
The heart is an involuntary muscle.Involuntary muscles are smooth muscles that are not directly controllable at will. Voluntary muscles are controllable like those found in your arms, legs, hands, etc.
Who invented dancing?
No individual invented dance, as music and movement date from the earliest modern humans.The significance of dance is related to language, custom, and ritual, and any sort of regular rhythmic sound seems to trigger a sympathetic activity in the human brain and body. Dance may have developed concurrently with sign language as a form of communication.According to an article in Scientific American in 2008, "dance is a fundamental form of human expression that is intertwined with language and music. It is viewed as a marriage of the representational capacity of language and the rhythmicity of music, allowing people to tell stories with their bodies while synchronizing their bodies."Dancing is an ancient art form that cannot be credited to one inventor. The earliest civilizations used dance for rituals and as a form of communication.
