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 difference between impulse conduction and transmission?
Impulse conduction refers to passage of impulse within the same cell. Where as transmission as the name implies, is concerned about passage of impulses either chemical or electrical from one cell to another.
How conduction can be controlled?
Conduction can be controlled by altering the material's thermal conductivity, adjusting the temperature difference across the material, or changing the thickness of the material. Insulating materials, like foam or fiberglass, can reduce conduction by limiting the flow of heat through a material. Increasing the thickness of the material can also increase resistance to heat transfer through conduction.
What carries an impulse across a synapse to a muscle?
neurons?
How do you use 'conduction' in a sentence?
It was finally determined that moving electrons made up electric current, and copper and other metals could provide a path of conduction for that current. The copper on the bottom of the pot provided for an increased ability to support thermal conduction across the cooking surface of the vessel.
On which direction does an impulse go across a synapse?
An impulse travels in one direction across a synapse, from the presynaptic neuron to the postsynaptic neuron. This ensures that the signal transmission in the nervous system is unidirectional.
Why we are insulating windings of a motor alternator?
If the windings weren't insulated then there would be no reason for the current to go all the way through the wires. It would just go staright across from one terminal to the other.
Is a nerve impulse an electrical current that travels along dendrites or axons?
A nerve impulse, or action potential, is an electrical signal that primarily travels along the axon of a neuron, not the dendrites. Dendrites receive incoming signals from other neurons, while the axon transmits the impulse away from the cell body to other neurons or muscles. The impulse is generated by the movement of ions across the neuron's membrane, creating a rapid change in electrical charge.
How is a conducting substance different from an insulating substance?
A conductor has more free electrons at the outer shell (valence) of its atoms. These free electrons move when an electric current is applied across the substance. Insulators, on the other hand, do not have as many free electrons and will take a stronger amount of energy for it to conduct the flow of electrons. In the real world, there are very few real insulators since lightning can flow across anything if the right circumstance exist.
Can someone help you decipher your EKG report It says sinus tachycardia borderline AV conduction delay and probable left atrial abnormality.?
sinus tachycardia = rapid heartbeat borderline av conduction delay = a slight delay in the conduction of electrical impulse from the atria, at the top of the heart, to the ventricles, at the base of the heart. The ventricles are the chambers that do the pumping of blood to the lungs and to the body. The atria are the two "collecting" chambers for the blood returning to the heart from the lungs and from the body. The electrical impulse of a heartbeat starts in the right atrium, travels across to the left atrium and down to the top of the ventricles. This causes the atria to contract and push blood through heart valves into the chambers of the heart called Ventricles. The contraction then has a slight pause as the impulse "stimulates" the atrioventricular node to pass the impulse down to the base of the right and left ventricles. When the impulse passes the AV node, the ventricles contract and push the blood out to the lungs to be oxygenated and to the body. A slight delay in the conduction of the impulse is normal but it is only a fraction of a second. Any delay in the conduction which is longer than the "normal" fraction of a second is considered an abnormal av conduction delay. Probable Left Atrial abnormality = some kind of abnormal size, shape, structure, or electrical conduction in the chamber at the top of the left side of the heart. Remember that the atria are chambers for collecting blood returning to the heart. The left atrium is the chamber for collecting blood which is returning from the lungs. This is freshly oxygenated blood. The blood travels from the lungs to the left atrium. When the atria contract, the blood is pushed from the left atrium into the left ventricle. When the ventricles contract, the blood is then pumped from the left ventricle out into the aorta (the largest artery in your body) and then on to the furthest reaches of your body.
