A) Diastasis
B) Excitability
C) Automaticity
D) Conductivity

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Automaticity describes the ability of certain specialized cells of the heart to depolarize.Diastasis refers to the long period of reduced ventricular filling that follows the rapid-filling period.Excitability is defined as the ability of a cell to respond to an electrical stimulus.Conductivity is defined as the ability of cardiac tissue to propagate an action potential.
