The Cardiac Gap Junction has Discrete Functions in Electrotonic and Ephaptic Coupling
The Cardiac Gap Junction has Discrete Functions in Electrotonic and Ephaptic Coupling is a scholarly work by Robert G Gourdie, published in 2018 in ''The Anatomical Record''. The main subjects of the publication include materials science, pipe coupling, gap junction, heart arrhythmia, ion channel complex, and physics. ABSTRACTConnexin43‐formed gap junctions have long been thought to contribute to cardiac conduction in the mammalian ventricle by providing direct electrotonic connectivity between the cytoplasms of neighboring cardiomyocytes.
