The easiest way to understand the way that the heart works is to imagine a double pump with high pressure and low pressure tubing. One part of the pump is low pressure all the way, and that brings the blo...

When an action potential reaches an axon terminal, the depolarisation from causes voltage-gated calcium ion channels in the plasma membrane of the synaptic knob to open. As there is a much higher concentr...
