Av delay permits the ventricles to be filled to an optimal volume which is preload. so contraction will eject max amount of blood.

What is the point in the intrinsic conduction system where the impulse is temporarily delayed?
Av node
What is the importance of delay in the action potential in the AV node?
At the AV node, the impulse is delayed for about 0.1s, allowing the atria to respond and complete their contraction before the ventricles contract.
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 The order of impulse conduction in the heart from beginning to end?
The impulse starts in the right atria in the sinus node, then travels through the intratrial fibers for atrial contraction, then travels down to the the av node where it is delayed, then travels down through the bundle branches to the purkinjee fibers to the ventricular myocardium for contraction.
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 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.
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.
The SA node triggers an impulse that causes both atria to do what?
SA node sends an impulse for the atria to contract. AV node is then activated which contracts the ventricles.
The normal pattern of impulse conduction through the heart is?
SA node, AV node, AV Bundle, Bundle branches, subedocardial branches (purkinje fibers)
What represents the time it takes for an electrical impulse to travel from the sa node to the av node?
P-R interval
What structure conducts the contraction impulse from the atria to the ventricles?
the purkinje fibers um no!!! wrong answer!!
