Difference between Action potential and Sodium channel blocker

Action potential vs. Sodium channel blocker

In physiology, an action potential occurs when the membrane potential of a specific axon location rapidly rises and falls: this depolarisation then causes adjacent locations to similarly depolarise. Sodium channel blockers are drugs which impair the conduction of sodium ions (Na+) through sodium channels.

Similarities between Action potential and Sodium channel blocker

Action potential and Sodium channel blocker have 12 things in common (in Unionpedia): Atrioventricular node, Beta blocker, Calcium, Heart arrhythmia, Lidocaine, Quinidine, Refractory period (physiology), Saxitoxin, Sodium, Sodium channel, Tetrodotoxin, Verapamil.

Atrioventricular node

The atrioventricular node, or AV node is a part of the electrical conduction system of the heart that coordinates the top of the heart.

Beta blocker

Beta blockers, also written β-blockers, are a class of medications that are particularly used to manage abnormal heart rhythms, and to protect the heart from a second heart attack (myocardial infarction) after a first heart attack (secondary prevention).

Heart arrhythmia

Heart arrhythmia (also known as arrhythmia, dysrhythmia, or irregular heartbeat) is a group of conditions in which the heartbeat is irregular, too fast, or too slow.

Quinidine

Quinidine is a pharmaceutical agent that acts as a class I antiarrhythmic agent (Ia) in the heart.

Refractory period (physiology)

Refractoriness is the fundamental property of any object of autowave nature (especially excitable medium) not to respond on stimuli, if the object stays in the specific refractory state.

Saxitoxin

Saxitoxin (STX) is a potent neurotoxin and the best-known paralytic shellfish toxin (PST).

Sodium

Sodium is a chemical element with symbol Na (from Latin natrium) and atomic number 11.

Sodium channel

Sodium channels are integral membrane proteins that form ion channels, conducting sodium ions (Na+) through a cell's plasma membrane.
