| Abstract | Diastolic depolarization in cardiac muscle is due to a decline in potassium permeability that has been ascribed to removal of intracellular free calcium. A continued decline in tension during the pacemaker potential might therefore occur. In this study, contractile responses of chicken embryonic heart cell aggregates are recorded with a photodiode. Photodiode output is well correlated with the position of the aggregate's edge. Movements of different edges are synchronous, and their amplitude and duration vary appropriately during experimental maneuvers that alter the magnitude and duration of contractile force. Edge movement during relaxation has two phases, a rapid phase lasting about 100 msec and a slow phase that may last over 10 sec. The slow phase is not due to viscoelasticity because its time course does not depend on the magnitude or duration of the initial deformation. The rate of relaxation is correlated with the rate of depolarization during the pacemaker potential. Reduction in automaticity during cooling, spontaneous variation, and overdrive pacing are associated with impairment of the slow component of relaxation. Electrophysiological evidence suggests that the diastolic potassium permeability of the aggregates is controlled by intracellular calcium. A possible explanation for the correlation between the slope of the pacemaker potential and the slow component of relaxation is that both phenomena reflect a common physiological process-i.e., the removal of free calcium from the cytoplasm. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
