think increasing the concentration of calcium will have on heart rate?
Your answer : a. positive chronotropic, positive inotropic
Predict Question 2: Excess potassium outside of the cardiac cell decreases the resting potential of the plasma membrane,
thus decreasing the force of contraction. What effect (if any) do you think it will initially have on heart rate?
Your answer : b. decrease heart rate
Stop & Think Questions:
Where in the cardiac muscle cell is most of the sodium normally found?
You correctly answered: a. outside of the cell
