Yes. The AV node is the slowest conducting tissue of the heart. You can reason that the delay in the AV node exists to allow for maximal ventricle filling before contraction. After the AV node completes depolarization, the Perkinje fibers lay claim to the quickest conduction to best reach the ventricle muscle in one large burst providing maximal contraction. I hope this is helpful.

What is slowest conduction velocity?

The slowest conduction velocity occurs in unmyelinated C fibers, which are responsible for transmitting dull, aching pain signals in the body. These fibers conduct nerve impulses at a speed of around 0.5 to 2 meters per second.


Put the following nerve types in order from the slowest conduction velocity to the fastest?

The nerve types in order from slowest conduction velocity to fastest are: C fibers (slow pain and temperature) B fibers (preganglionic autonomic) Aδ fibers (fast pain and temperature) Aβ fibers (touch and pressure) Aα fibers (motor neurons)

What is the slowest agent of mechanical weathering?

The slowest agent of mechanical weathering is typically thermal expansion and contraction. This process occurs when rocks heat up and expand during the day and then cool down and contract at night, causing stress on the rock material over time. While this process is gradual, it can lead to the breakdown of rocks through repeated cycles of expansion and contraction.
