Explanation / Answer

2. Characteristics unique to skeletal myofibrils

Cells do not communicate through gap junctions, Stimulated by the nervous system only, Threshold stimulus occurs via chemically gated ion channels.

3. Characteristics unique to contractile myocardial cells

Extended refractory period, Has a plateau phase, Stimulated by nodal cells, Threshold stimulus occurs via ion current through gap junctions, Uses extracellular calcium for contraction.

4. Characteristics unique to nodal myocardial cells

No contractile protein, Depolarization in action potential results from increased calcium permeability, Self-stimulating (autorhythmic), Threshold stimulus occurs via a pacemaker potential.

5. characteristics do you both skeletal muscle and contractile myocardial cells share

contractile proteins, depolarization in action potential results in increased sodium permeability, repolarization in action potential results from increased potassium permeability, uses stored calcium for contraction.

6. characteristics do you both contractile and nodal myocardial cells share
