The sino-atrial node (or SA node) is located in the right atrium, just below the entrance of the superior vena cava in the upper right portion of the right atrium.

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 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.


The AV node is located?

The AV node is located in the lower part of the right atrium of the heart, near the septum. It functions as part of the heart's electrical conduction system, helping to regulate the timing of the heart's contractions. The AV node receives electrical impulses from the SA node and transmits them to the ventricles to coordinate the heart's pumping action.


How does your heart pump?

The AV node sends out an electrical impulse that causes the heart to contract.


Do nerve impulses travel down the internodal pathways from the av node?

No, nerve impulses travel down the internodal pathways towards the AV node, not from it. The internodal pathways conduct the impulse from the SA node to the AV node, assisting in the synchronization of the heart's electrical activity.


What are the four structures that compose the conduction system of the heart?
