6 • When slow waves above threshold, it triggers APs by opening of VG Ca2+ channels. • Inward flow of Ca2+: • Produces the upward depolarization phase. • Stimulates contraction of smooth muscle. • Repolarization: • VG K+ channels open. • Slow waves decrease in amplitude as they are conducted. • May stimulate contraction in proportion to the magnitude of depolarization.
