What is the point in the purkinje system where the impulse is temporarily delayed?
the atrioventricular node :)
What are AV nodes?
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.

What is impulse conduction?
Party of nervous
What is the the correct path for the transmission of an impulse in the intrinsic conduction system of the heart?
sinoatrial (SA) node, atrioventricular (AV) node, atrioventricular (AV) bundle, right and left bundle branches, Purkinje fibers
What is the difference between impulse conduction and transmission?
Impulse conduction refers to passage of impulse within the same cell. Where as transmission as the name implies, is concerned about passage of impulses either chemical or electrical from one cell to another.
What tissue type functions in impulse conduction?
Nervous tissue.
What kind of neurons does impulse conduction occur in the fastest?
nig
Is the velocity of a nerve impulse greater than electrical conduction's?
yes
What features of nerves improve impulse conduction velocity?
myelin sheaths
When current leaps across an insulating myelin sheath from node to node the type of impulse conduction is called what?
Saltatory Conduction
The depressant effect of alcohol does not interfere with the conduction of the electrical impulse of the heartbeat?
true
