- Conduction system
- 1.Sino-atrial node: The pacemaker of the heart-produces an electrical stimulus , resulting in the atria contracting.
- Located in right atrial wall
- 2.Atrioventricular node:Enables the ventricles to completely fill with blood by delaying the stimulus until after the AV valves shut
- 3.The bundle of His: Group of conduction cells,which branch into the Purkinje fibres.
- Located in septum of the heart
- 4.Purkinje fibres:In the ventricular wall,conduct the electrical impulse from the bundle of His and cause ventricular contraction
- Structures in the cardiac muscle which create and transmit the electrical impulse from the CCC to the atria and ventricles to cause contraction
- After the electrical impulse is complete the atria/ventricles relax and the heart refills=1 heart beat
- 1.Sino-atrial node: The pacemaker of the heart-produces an electrical stimulus , resulting in the atria contracting.
