The plateau of the action potential is caused by: a.) Increase in Na+ conductance b.) Increase in K+ conductance c.) Increase in Ca++ conductance d.) Increase in Cl- conductance

 The sinoatrial node is the pacemaker for the heart because the SA node: a.) is the most richly innervated structure in the heart b.) is the only structure in the heart capable of generating action potential c.) has the highest rate of automatic discharge d.) has the most stable transmembrane potential

 The frank-starling relation is essentially a restatement of
