[Study of electro-mechanical coupling in heart fibers by an optical method]. 1984

A K Filippov, and R V Plotnikov, and V I Porotikov

It has been shown on frog auricle fibres that optical recording of contraction related to the action potential or ionic currents allows to distinguish between phasic (concerned with calcium current coming into the cell) and tonic (concerned with Ca++ input through Na/Ca metabolic diffusion) contraction components and to investigate the regulation of these components by compounds.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008564 Membrane Potentials The voltage differences across a membrane. For cellular membranes they are computed by subtracting the voltage measured outside the membrane from the voltage measured inside the membrane. They result from differences of inside versus outside concentration of potassium, sodium, chloride, and other ions across cells' or ORGANELLES membranes. For excitable cells, the resting membrane potentials range between -30 and -100 millivolts. Physical, chemical, or electrical stimuli can make a membrane potential more negative (hyperpolarization), or less negative (depolarization).
