Yes. Is that correct?
SA node sends an impulse for the atria to contract. AV node is then activated which contracts the ventricles.
ventricles
heart block
the purkinje fibers um no!!! wrong answer!!
No, the sinoatrial (SA) node initiates contraction of the atria, which subsequently causes stimulation of the AV node, which then initiates contraction of the ventricles via the Purkinje fibers.
The sinoatrial (SA) node (known as the heart's pacemaker) in the wall of the right atrium is where electrical signals originate and lead to contraction. It sets the rate of contraction; at rest this is about 70 to 80 bpm (beats per minute). The SA node causes the atria to contract (down from the top), forcing blood into the ventricles. The SA node can also be influenced by external sources (such as exercise, increased adrenaline, or drugs) that can increase or decrease the force of contraction (heart rate).The atrioventricular (AV) node passes the electrical signals from the atria to the ventricles, then to the bundle of His. If the SA node is damaged, the AV node takes over its functions.The bundle of His (also known as the atrioventricular bundle) is a tissue within the ventricular septum. It splits to form the right and left bundle branches. The bundle of His passes the electrical signals to the Purkinje fibers.The Purkinje fibres pass the electrical signals to the myocardium (heart muscle) in the ventricles. The ventricles contract (up from the bottom), pushing blood into the aorta and pulmonary arteries.Electrical conduction system of the heart is the class, a subclass of body partSA Node (causes contraction of atria) to AV Node ( delay from SA to AV allows atria to contract before ventricles), to Bundle of His (atrioventricular bundle) where the fibers branch into twos and carry impulses down the center of the heart to both ventricles and at base of heartfurther branching into Purkinje Fibers, which trigger muscle fibers of ventricles to contract.
the ventricles would not contract
SA node.
the sinoatrial (SA) node
Sinoatrial (SA) Node or "Pacemaker"
Complete heart block is where the electrical impulses from the SA node of the heart cannot reach the ventricles along the normal pathway. Instead the atrial contract from the SA node singles and the ventricles contract from the ventricular cells
