What is Cardiac Muscle Properties and Physiology about?
1) Blood flows through two circuits in the heart - the pulmonary circulation and the systemic circulation. 2) Cardiac muscle is striated, contains many mitochondria, and cardiac cells are joined by intercalated discs allowing for coordinated contraction. 3) The sinoatrial node acts as the pacemaker for the heart and initiates an action potential that spreads through cardiac tissue via intercalated discs, causing coordinated contraction of the entire heart.
