Heat conduction (heat flow) is caused by a temperature differential along the heat conductor. Heat flows from higher to lower temperatures. The heat flow is proportional to the temperature difference times the thermal conductivity.

Electrical conduction (electric flow) is caused by a voltage differential along the electrical conductor. Electricity flows from higher to lower voltages. The flow is proportional to the voltage difference times the electrical conductivity.

Water conduction (water flow) is caused by a pressure differential along the water conductor. Water flows from higher to lower pressures. The flow is proportional to the pressure difference times the water conductivity.

Is wind caused by the transfer of conduction?

No, wind is mainly caused by the movement of air in response to differences in air pressure. Conduction is the transfer of heat through solids or between objects in direct contact, not a direct cause of wind.


What structure of the conduction system helps to cause the constriction of the ventricles and extend from the atrioventricular node?

The bundle of His, also known as the atrioventricular bundle, is the structure of the conduction system that helps to coordinate the contraction of the ventricles. It extends from the atrioventricular node and transmits electrical impulses to the Purkinje fibers, which then cause the ventricles to contract simultaneously.


How does resistance affect the life of a conduction system?

Resistance in a conduction system, such as electrical wiring, can cause a decrease in the flow of current and lead to loss of energy in the form of heat. It can also result in issues like voltage drops and inefficiencies in the system. High resistance can cause overheating and potential damage to the components.


Is thermal conduction the same as conduction?

Yes, thermal conduction and conduction are often used interchangeably. Thermal conduction specifically refers to the transfer of heat through a material due to a temperature difference.
