Cardiovascular Electrophysiology 2 - Electrical Flow In The Heart

In this lecture we're going to talk about how a hunk of meat in your chest can generate electricity. By the end of the lecture you should be able to discuss the following: 1. What is electricity? 2. How does the heart create an electrical current? 3. Specifically, what are the roles of ions and gap junctions?
