Intrinsic rate of AV node?

The intrinsic rate of the AV node, also known as the inherent pacemaker rate, is the rate at which the AV node generates electrical impulses when not influenced by outside factors. It is typically around 40-60 beats per minute and serves as a backup pacemaker if the SA node fails to function properly. The AV node's intrinsic rate helps to regulate the heart rate and maintain cardiac function.

What is AV nodal delay?

AV node is responsible for the delayin transmission of impulse generated in the SA node.This delay of impulse transmissions is called AV nodal delay. It is about 0.09 sec.Causes of AV nodal delayi. Junctional fibres of the AV node are very small in size.ii. Prolonged refractory periodof AV node.


Is the av node responsible for the rhythmic contraction of the heart?

The atrioventricular (AV) node is not primarily responsible for the rhythmic contraction of the heart; that role belongs to the sinoatrial (SA) node, which acts as the heart's natural pacemaker. The AV node does play a critical role in the conduction system by delaying the electrical signal from the atria to the ventricles, allowing the atria to contract and empty their blood into the ventricles before they contract. This coordination is essential for efficient heart function, but the rhythmic beating is initiated by the SA node.
