What is the back-up pacemaker of the heart?
The sinoatrial node is known as the pacemaker of the heart.
How are the contractions of the 4 chambers in the heart coordinated?
SA node and AV node
What is the significance of the delay in transmission at the AV node in the heart?
The transmission delay at the AV node in the heart allows both ventricles to relax and be refilled by the contracting atria. After the AV node delay, the ventricles contract and force blood into the aorta (systemic circulation).
What is the function of the AV node?
What causes a heart murmur
What is function of AV node?
What causes a heart murmur
What is the most important structure of the human heart?
It is supposed to be the sinus node and the conducting tissue. It includes the AV node and bundle of HIS. The sinus node generate the impulse in the heart for contraction. The AV node and bundle of HIS transmits the impulse to the ventricles.
The correct sequence in the conduction system of the heart is?
SA node, Internodal pathways, AV node, Bundle of His, Bundle branches, Purkinje fibers.
What part of the heart causes ventricular tachycardia?
AV node
What are the four structures that compose the conduction system of the heart?
1. SA Node ----> 2. AV Node---> 3. AV Bundle (bundle of HIS)----> 4. Purkinje Fibers
How does your heart pump?
The AV node sends out an electrical impulse that causes the heart to contract.
What is the firing order of electricity in the human heart?
SA node, AV node, Bundle of His, Purkinje fibers
The normal pattern of impulse conduction through the heart is?
SA node, AV node, AV Bundle, Bundle branches, subedocardial branches (purkinje fibers)
