Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Action potentials are the electric currents that travel across the membrane of the cells of the heart. Action potentials are generated and propagated by the heart for its contraction. The electrical events are identical to the neurons, cardiac muscles, and skeletal muscles. There are five different phases of the action potential. It includes depolarization and repolarization.
