Summary Introduction

To analyze:

The point of difference between the depolarization of pacemaker cells and other cardiac cells and the pacemaker potential.

Introduction:

The voltage-gated and ligand-gated channels are the communication channels that allow the signal transductions among various types of cells. The voltage-gated and ligand-gated channels both open under the appropriate stimuli and lead to the initiation of cellular changes that generate a pathway to bring about the required response.
