Resumo de Recurso

Heart Myocytes
  1. Stimulation from parasympathetic nervous system
    1. Acetylcholine acts on metabotropic, muscarinic receptors in the heart
      1. G-Protein is activated
        1. Effector protein is a K+ ion channel (stimulated to open)
          1. K+ ions flow out of the cell (down their concentration gradient)
            1. Increases negativity inside the cell (hyperpolarisation)
              1. Leads to decreased contraction
