. Which of the following statements about membrane potentials in different types of cardiac cells is TRUE?
A. Myocardial cells have a resting membrane potential of about -90 mV; pacemaker cells do not have a true resting membrane potential. B. Once threshold depolarization is reached in both myocardial and pacemaker cells, the rapid upswing of the action potential is caused by the opening of voltage-gated Na+ channels C.
