چکیده

• Attempts to record membrane potentials from the human heart exposed during surgery have been reported by Woodbury et al. and Bromberger-Barnea et al. In these studies, rather large variation in the amplitude and time course of the potentials was observed, perhaps related to the circumstances of working with flexibly mounted micro-electrodes on an exposed, contracting heart. The present experiments were undertaken on the strength of the evidence that records obtained from suitably prepared and maintained tissue preparations excised from other mammalian hearts do not differ from records made in situ.4 Membrane potential changes of small preparations of human ventricular and atrial tissue, excised during open-heart surgery, were recorded in vitro, and the effects of physical and chemical influences on the resting and action potentials of single myocardial fibers were studied to test whether the basic concepts of the mechanisms underlying the action potential, automaticity and transmitter effects, derived from investigation of other cardiac tissue, are applicable to the human heart.

Electrophysiological Investigations of the Heart of Squill a Mantis

In most, possibly all, Crustacea the heart beat is neurogenic. Each beat is initiated by a burst of impulses from a small group of neurones whose cell bodies lie grouped in the ganglionic nerve trunk (g.n.t.) in the heart wall and whose axons run to the heart muscle. Many attempts have been made by electrophysiologists to discover how these neurones are integrated to fire rhythmic bursts (for e...

Effect of nitric oxide modulation on the basic and rate-dependent electrophysiological properties of AV-node in the isolated heart of rabbit: The role of adrenergic and cholinergic receptors

Introduction: Recent studies showed that nitrergic system have specific modulatory effects on electrophysiological properties of atrioventricular (AV) node. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of nitric oxide (NO) on the electrophysiological properties of isolated rabbit AV node and to investigate the role of adrenergic and cholinergic receptors in the mechanism of its action...
