-
this plateau in depolarization and this recovery.
-
So,this might be an action potential
-
you'd record from a ventricular muscle cell,
-
and if at the same time you were recording this action potential
-
and you were also measuring contraction.
-
Think of this measurement as how much contraction the cell has done,
-
at this point in its resting state
-
and in this point it's in its most contracted state,
-
then the contraction follows the action potential
-
by about 100 milliseconds.
-
As the contraction happens--as the action potential happens
-
the contraction happens about 100-150 milliseconds after that,
