The structure of the conduction system formerly known as the bundle of His is now referred to as the atrioventricular (AV) bundle. It is responsible for conducting electrical impulses from the atria to the ventricles of the heart. The AV bundle splits into right and left bundle branches that extend into the ventricles, facilitating coordinated contraction.

Bundle branch block belongs to a group of heart problems called intraventricular conduction defects (IVCD).


What depolarise immediately after the AV node depolarises?

You have the specialized conduction tissue called as bundle of His. This bundle spread across the inter ventricular septum to cover the walls of both the ventricles. The bundle was named after the name of God, so the name goes as bundle of His. These cells get depolarized immediately after the the AV node.

What are the components of the cardiac conduction system?

The conduction starts at the pacemaker region called the Sinoatrial Node (SA node) which is just under where the superior vena cava enters the right atrium. From here the conduction passes to the Atrioventricular Node (AV node) which is just ot the right of the septum. From here the stimulation is passed through the Bundle of His which carries the conduction to the septum where two Bundle Branches pick it up. These branches carry the conduction to the base of the septum where they sperate into the Purkinje Fibres. These fibres carry the conduction all around the heart.
