Atrioventricular node at the bottom of the?
The heart beats regularly because it has it's own pacemaker. The pacemaker is a small region of muscle called the sinoatrial, or SA, node. It is in the upper back wall of the right atrium. The node triggers an impulse that causes both atrium to contract. Very quickly, the impulse reaches the atrioventricular, or AV, node at the bottom of the right atrium. Immediately, the atrioventricular node triggers an impulse that causes both ventricles to contract.
What is the point in the purkinje system where the impulse is temporarily delayed?
the atrioventricular node :)
At what structure in the transmission sequence is the impulse temporarily delayed and why?
ATRIOVENTRICULAR (AV) NODE; THIS DELAY IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT ENSURES THAT THE ATRIA HAVE EJECTED THEIR BLOOD INTO THE VENTRICLES FIRST BEFORE THE VENTRICLES CONTRACT. as found in easy notecards .com
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

Where in the heart do electric impulses begin?
In a normal heart, the electrical impulse resulting in depolarization and contraction of the cardiac muscle originates in the sinoatrial (SA) node and propagates through the atria to the atrioventricular (AV) node before moving on to the ventricles. When the electrical impulse for muscle contraction is generated, it travels throughout the muscle of each atrium, causing atrial contraction. the impulse then travels to the atrioventricular (AV) node. according to Medical Assisting- administrative and clinical procedures with anatomy and physiology.
What are the structures involved in the conduction system of the heart?
Internal pacemaker , sinoatrial(sa) node, atrioventricular (av) node , atrioventricular bundle (bundle of his ) and purkinje fibres.
Is the peacemaker of the heart the atrioventricular node?
NO! it is the SA Node..
What represents the time it takes for an electrical impulse to travel from the sa node to the av node?
P-R interval
Structure that carries the heart electrical impulse into the ventricle?
The atrioventricular (AV) node sends the signal to the AV bundle, where the wave of contraction travels from the atria to the ventricles.
What node triggers and impulse?
The sinoatrial node triggers an impulse
