Talk:Bundle of His

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Correct me if I'm wrong but I've noticed two inaccuracies:

1. Cardiac muscle is the only type of muscle that is myogenic. This is untrue. Other types of smooth muscle are capable of generating their own electrical impulses, namely the gastrointestinal system.

2. The term 'innervate' was used to describe the effect of purkinje fibres stimulating ventricular cells. 'Innervate' should only be used in the case of a neuron. Since purkinje fibres are not neuronal cells, this is not the correct term to use.

I'm only a first year Physiology student so I'm not sure if what I've said is accurate. Please comment.
