Quantitative Analysis of Uterine Action Potentials.
A fundamental problem in developing therapeutic interventions for uterine dysfunction is that the electrical profile of the myometrium, and how it changes in physiological, let alone pathophysiological, situations is unknown. Excitation-contraction coupling of the myometrium is a central component of healthy functioning of the uterus. Even though proper function of this smooth muscle is fundame...
متن کاملQuantitative analysis of single muscle fibre action potentials recorded at known distances.
In vivo records of single fibre action potentials (SFAPs) have always been obtained at unknown distance from the active muscle fibre. A new experimental method has been developed enabling the derivation of the recording distance in animal experiments. A single fibre is stimulated with an intracellular micropipette electrode. The same electrode is used thereafter for labelling with an auto-fluor...
متن کاملQuantitative prediction of body surface potentials from myocardial action potentials using a summed dipole model.
This paper demonstrates quantitatively, using streamlined mathematics, how the transmembrane ionic currents in individual cardiac muscle cells act to produce the body surface potentials of the electrocardiogram (ECG). From fundamental principles of electrostatics, anatomy, and physiology, one can characterize the strength of apparent dipoles along a wavefront of depolarization in a local volume...
متن کاملMembrane Potentials and Action Potentials
Electrical potentials exist across the membranes of virtually all cells of the body. In addition, some cells, such as nerve and muscle cells, are capable of generating rapidly changing electrochemical impulses at their membranes, and these impulses are used to transmit signals along the nerve or muscle membranes. In other types of cells, such as glandular cells, macrophages, and ciliated cells,...

lntracellular Caz+, K+, CI-, and NOsactivities were measured with ion-selective microeledrodes in the liverwort Conocephalum conicum 1. at rest, during dark/light changes, and in the couese of adion potentials triggered by light or electrical stimuli. l h e average free cytosolic Caz+ concentration was 231 f 65 nM. We did not observe any light-dependent changes of the free cytosolic Caz+ concen...
