Symptom Relief. Sips of milk help sooth symptoms of heartburn and ulcers caused by excess stomach acid production. Unfortunately, drinking too much milk causes your stomach to increase its acid production and eventually worsen your symptoms, warns Gloria Tsang, a registered dietitian for HealthCastle.com.
Pacemaker cells and Purkinje fibres in the conduction system are specialized cardiomyocytes that generate and conduct electrical impulses. The sinoatrial node (SAN), which is composed of a group of pacemaker cells, resides in the right atrium generating impulses to initiate heart contraction. The atrioventricular node (AVN) is located between the atria and ventricles, and it conducts an electrical impulse from the atria to the ventricles. Mei Xin,
Each electrical signal normally begins in a group of cells called the sinus node or sinoatrial (SA) node. As a signal spreads from the top of the heart to the bottom, it coordinates the timing of heart cell activity. First, the heart's two upper chambers, the atria (AY-tree-uh), contract. This contraction pumps blood into the heart's two lower chambers, the ventricles (VEN-trih-kuls). The ventricles then contract and pump blood to the rest of the body. The combined contraction of the atria and ventricles is a heartbeat.
