Coordination polymers (CPs) intrinsically have both transport pathways for electrons and ions, however, the practical conductivities are usually low. In recent years, significant advances have been made in electronic or ionic conductive coordination polymers, which also results in progress in mixed ionic...

Cardiac electrical disruption often results in arrhythmias involving altered heart rates (bradyarrhythmias and tachyarrhythmias corresponding to low and high heart rates, respectively), premature beats, atrial flutter and fibrillations, which comprise an unorganized AP propagation through the myocardial mass ...
In Figure 10.30, the exterior charging port will be connected by heavy cabling to the BP—the heart of the EV system. The BP will have an electrical unit to monitor and control its varied functions, e.g., power to the motor and level of charge, with the interconnecting wiring being ligh...
The presence of structural or electrical heterogeneity in the heart increases the probability of unidirectional block and reentrant tachycardia23,24. For sustained reentry, the conduction wavelength, defined as distance traveled by an electrical impulse while the myocardium is refractory, must be shorter...
through the body. Themyocardial conducting cells(1 percent of the cells) form the conduction system of the heart. Except for Purkinje cells, they are generally much smaller than the contractile cells and have few of the myofibrils or filaments needed for contraction. Their function is similar in...
There are two broad types of synapse: electrical and chemical. An electrical synapse, also known as a gap junction, is a mechanical link between two neurons that allows for the conduction of electricity. Electrical synapses contain channels that allow charges (ions) to flow from one cell to ...
Electric Current Definition: Electric current is defined as the flow of charged particles—such as electrons or ions—through a conductor or space. Electric Current Formula: The flow rate of electric charge is calculated by dividing the change in charge by the change in time. Electric Current Uni...
Are electrical synapses found in the heart? Due to the direct flow of ions and molecules from one cell to another, electrical synapses allow bidirectional flow of information between cells. Gap junctions are crucial to the functioning of the cardiac myocytes and smooth muscles. ... Chemical synap...
This explanation makes yet another assumption—namely, that charges could travel through your finger and body much more readily than through the hair connected to the foil. We therefore add another assumption to our model: • Materials differ as to how readily they permit the passage of charge...
