Cardiac cells: activation and contraction
Cardiology
©
There are two types of cells within the heart:
• cardiomyocytes (heart muscle cells) make up the atria and the ventricles. These
cells must be able to shorten and lengthen their fibres and the fibres must be
flexible enough to stretch.
intercalated
discs
All of these cells are connected by cellular bridges. Porous junctions
called intercalated discs form junctions between the cells. They permit sodium,
potassium and calcium to easily diffuse from cell to cell. This makes it easier for
depolarization and repolarization in the myocardium. Because of these junctions
and bridges the heart muscle is able to act as a single coordinated unit.
cardiomyocyte
• cardiac pacemaker cells carry the electrical impulses that are responsible for
the beating of the heart. They are distributed throughout the heart and are
responsible for several functions. First, they are responsible for being able
to spontaneously generate and send out electrical impulses. They also must
be able to receive and respond to electrical impulses from the brain. Lastly,
they must be able to transfer electrical impulses from cell to cell.
