The action potential is a sudden positive shift in the cardiomyocyte's cellular membrane potential, termed depolarization. Depolarization not only initiates contraction within the affected cardiomyocyte (Described in Cardiac Excitation-Contraction Coupling), but also initiates depolarization of adjacent cardiomyocytes.
Polar Coordinates The coordinate system which depicts the points from the pole to the certain distance at a particular angle is known as âpolar coordinatesâ. The positive horizontal axis in which that particular angle rotates is named as âpolar axisâ.
Polaris (Î± Ursae Minoris, Î± UMi, commonly the North Star or Pole Star) is the brightest star in the constellation Ursa Minor, and the 50th brightest star in the night sky. It is very close to the north celestial pole, making it the current northern pole star.
