• atrial depolarization
• ventricular repolarization
• ventricular depolarization

Which of the following is a difference between cardiac muscle and skeletal muscle?

• unlike skeletal muscle cells, cardiac muscle cells do not rely on an influx of calcium ions for depolarization
• unlike skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle is not striated
• unlike skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle does not use a sliding filament mechanism for contraction
• unlike skeletal muscle cells, cardiac muscle cells can be autorhythmic

Which is the pace maker of the heart

• sinoatrial SA node

• Purkinje fibers

• atrioventricular AV node

• atrioventricular AV bundle

• bundle branches

The T wave corresponds to what event in the heart?

• repolarization of the atria

• depolarization of the atria

• repolarization of the ventricles

• depolarization of the ventricles

What initiates the heart beat?

• The brain

• The AVN

• Hormones such as adrenaline

• The SAN
