the cardiac cell. Myofibrils, a collection of individual sarcomeres, enable contraction and relaxation of the myocyte. The sarcomere is the chief contractile unit of the cell. It is made up of two main proteins, myosin (thick filament) and actin (thin filament), as well as two regulatory proteins, tropomyosin and troponin. In order for the myocyte to contract and shorten it must receive a stimulus allowing myosin and actin to interact. This stimulus comes from the depolarization of the cardiac…

Whenever I first arrive at the cardiac catheterization office there are normally complete patient files off to the side that needs to be filed away in the large filing cabinet with all complete patient file from this year (and it is surprisingly filling up very quickly).

Muscles help provide strength, endurance, and help to keep the body warm. Muscles help keep the body warm by continuously pumping blood out of the heart and by body movement. There are three main categories of muscles in the human body: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth (non-striated) muscles. One type of muscle, known as skeletal, controls mobility. It is the only type that is voluntary and is also striated. Everyday living activities are performed using the majority of the skeletal muscles…
