Syncytium
Syncytium
A network of interconnected cells, typically cardiac muscle cells, joined by gap junctions that allow for rapid transmission of electrical signals.
Effective Refractory Period (ERP)
Effective Refractory Period (ERP)
The period immediately following an action potential during which a cell cannot generate another action potential.
