AV node is biologically an inhibitor of the conduction across the atrium to ventricles. The conduction of impulse is delayed across the AV node. This buys time for the atria to contract, to be fallowed by ventricles.
yes
If the AV and SA nodes fail, a pacemaker may be implanted to regulate the heart's rhythm. In severe cases, a heart transplant may be necessary. Medications to control heart rate and rhythm may also be prescribed.

innervates SA and AV nodes, heart muscle, and coranary arteries through parasympathetic fibers in the vagus nerves
If neither of the nodes work then the heart will be unable to contract its muscles to pump blood.
sa nodes - av bundle- left bundle branches- purkinje fibers . hope this helps
The structures labeled AV on the map typically refer to "Atrioventricular" nodes or valves, which are critical components of the heart's electrical conduction system. The atrioventricular node (AV node) is responsible for relaying electrical impulses from the atria to the ventricles, ensuring coordinated contraction. In some contexts, AV could also refer to atrioventricular valves, which separate the atria from the ventricles. The specific interpretation depends on the context of the map being referenced.
the SA and AV nodes in the heart produce electrical impulses that cause the heart muscle to contract or "beat", these nodes are controlled by the medulla and pons in the brain stem Excuse me but put it in a way that a 5th grader could understand. Thx
The rhythmic sequence of contractions is coordinated by the sinoatrial (SA) and atrioventricular (AV) nodes.
There are a couple of different nodes in the body, and they refer to different things, but since your question is posted under cardiovascular health, you are probably referring to either lymph nodes or the heart's conduction system. Lymph nodes basically act as filters to clean the extracellular fluid before it reenters circulation, and is part of the immune system where white blood cells mature. There are also nodes like the sinoatrial node (SA) and the atrioventricular (AV) node. They are what act as pacemakers for your heart, driving the periodic electrical impulses that cause a heart beat.
The "nodes" in the heart are the sinoatrial, or SA, node, which is found in the R atrium and is considered the primary pacemaker of the heart. The atrioventricular node, or AV node, is located in the right atrium just above the medial leaflet of the tricuspid valve. It allows for the electrical impulses generated in the atrium to be transmitted to the ventricles and to cause ventricular contraction.
