cardiac action potential differs significantly in different portions of the heart. The heart is provided with a special excitatory system and a contractile system necessary to perform this function. This differentiation of the action potentials allows the different electrical characteristics of the different portions of the heart. For instance‚ the specialized excitatory system of the heart has the special property of depolarizing without any external influence with a slow‚ positive increase in voltage
