The Cardiomyocyte Action Potential [Part 2]: Physiological Events in Cell

The video tutorial explains the action potential in cardiac muscle cells, focusing on the role of gap junctions in facilitating rapid ion movement. It details the physiological events within cardiomyocytes, including the changes in membrane potential and the opening of voltage-gated channels. The tutorial covers the plateau phase, highlighting calcium-induced calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum, and concludes with the repolarization process and the mechanisms for calcium removal to prevent tetany in heart cells.
