What else can I help you with?
What carries electrical impulses across the heart and causes the ventricles contract?
SA node.
What is happening during a complete heart block?
Complete heart block is where the electrical impulses from the SA node of the heart cannot reach the ventricles along the normal pathway. Instead the atrial contract from the SA node singles and the ventricles contract from the ventricular cells
What is the precise amount of electrical pulses does the brain send the heart?
The brain does not send "electrical pulses" to the heart. Electrical impulses are actually generated within the heart itself (in the SA node), which travel through several intricate pathways from the atria down to the ventricles.
What electrical event in the heart does the QRS complex represent?
Depolarization of ventricles
What creates the electrical signal in your heart?
neural impulses from the brain
What carries electrical impulses across the heart and causes the ventricles contract?
SA node.
What is Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome?
An abnormal, rapid heart rhythm, due to an extra pathway for the electrical impulses to travel from the atria to the ventricles.

Phil has heart block His electrical impulses are being blocked from reaching the ventricles An electrical device that causes ventricular contractions at a rate necessary to maintain circulation is b?
The electrical device is a pace maker.
Which is a very serious type of heart block in which no impulses are conducted to the ventricles?
third degree heart block
Where heart impulses are delayed?
Heart impulses can be delayed at the atrioventricular (AV) node, which is located between the atria and ventricles of the heart. This delay allows for coordination of the timing between the contraction of the atria and the ventricles, ensuring efficient blood pumping. Delaying impulses at the AV node also helps prevent rapid and irregular heart rhythms.
What is the medical term meaning interruption of the electrical impulses in the heart's conduction system?
Heart block is the term meaning interruption of electrical impulses in the heart's conduction system.
What is the pacemaker of the heart that begins the heartbeat?
The SA node begins the heartbeat and is sometimes referred to as the heart's pacemaker. The AV node are where the electrical impulses are delayed for 0.1 second before spreading to both ventricles and causing them to contract.
What is another name for atrioventricular bundle?
The Atrioventricular Bundle is also known as the Bundle of His. This conducts impulses and divides in ventrical to form fibers of Purkinge .
What is the funtional importance of the fibrous skeleton of the heart?
The fibrous skeleton of the heart provides structural support and helps maintain the shape of the heart. It also serves as an electrical insulator, preventing the direct spread of electrical impulses between the atria and ventricles. This helps coordinate the timing and sequence of heart muscle contractions for efficient pumping of blood.
What electrical event in the heart does the QRS complex represent?
Depolarization of ventricles
