What else can I help you with?
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 happens when blood reaches the vein?
Blood flows through veins after delivering oxygen to the body.
Where does the atria located?

What is responsible for initiating the heartbeat?
There is a group of cells in the heart called the "pacemaker" that sends out a nerve shock to initiate a heartbeat. It also changes the pulse depending on certain external conditions to maintain homeostasis. -Richard
Light reaches areas that are not in direct light by means of?
Light reaches areas that are not in direct light by means of indirect light. The indirect light reaches the areas by reflecting off other surfaces.
True or false when an impulse reaches a synapse an electrical spark jumps the gap?
TRUE
What is the correct progression of the cardiac impulse?
The cardiac impulse progresses in a specific sequence: it starts at the sinoatrial (SA) node, which generates an electrical impulse that spreads through the atria, causing them to contract. The impulse then reaches the atrioventricular (AV) node, where it pauses briefly before traveling down the bundle of His, branching into the right and left bundle branches. Finally, the impulse moves through the Purkinje fibers, leading to the contraction of the ventricles. This coordinated progression ensures effective pumping of blood throughout the heart and body.
What transmits the signal that causes both ventricles to contract?
The signal that causes both ventricles to contract is transmitted by the Purkinje fibers, which are part of the heart's conduction system. This system includes the sinoatrial (SA) node, atrioventricular (AV) node, and the bundle of His, which together coordinate the electrical impulses that initiate and regulate the heartbeat. When the impulse reaches the Purkinje fibers, it triggers the ventricles to contract simultaneously, ensuring efficient blood ejection from the heart.
What happens when an impulse reaches the end of an axon?
It reaches the synapse and sends neurotransmitters to start a new impulse to the next neuron
When an electrical impulse reaches the AV node it is slowed for a brief period of time so that?
blood can pass from the atria to the ventricles.
Sequence of events in one heartbeat?
During one heartbeat, the sequence of events is as follows: 1) The sinoatrial (SA) node generates an electrical impulse, initiating the heartbeat. 2) The electrical signal spreads through the atria, causing them to contract and push blood into the ventricles. 3) The electrical signal reaches the atrioventricular (AV) node, which delays the impulse slightly to allow the ventricles to fill with blood. 4) The signal then travels down the bundle of His and Purkinje fibers, causing the ventricles to contract and pump blood out of the heart.
When does the human heart rest?
The electrical impulse reaches all the muscle tissue in the ventricles, and the ventricles contract. This electrical conduction pattern occurs approx. every 0.8 seconds.
State why there is a brief delay in the transmission of an impulse across the synapse?
The impulse must go from one neuron to the next. To do this, it must change from an electrical to a chemical signal, and back to an electrical signal when it reaches the next neuron. Electrical signals are impossibly fast, but neurotransmitters cannot cross a synapse that fast. So, the impulse is at its slowest point when it crosses the synapse.
During a reflex the nerve impulse reaches?
the brain
When an impulse reaches the end of a neuron it tiggers the releases of?
Neurotransmitters
What muscles are used when you do step ups?
Various muscles of lower limb and back and hip.Each nerve impulse begins in the dendrites of a neuron's. the impulse move rapidly toward the neuron's cell body and then down the axon until it reaches the axon tip. a nerve impulse travels along the neuron in the form of electrical and chemical signals.
How does an impulse cross a synape?
An electrical impulse travels along a nerve until it hits a synapse, where it causes the release of chemicals (neurotransmitters) which migrate across the synapse. At the other side , these neurotransmitters activate receptors which cause an electrical signal to continue along the nerve.
