  • intrinsic conduction system explained

    heart muscle cells contract without nerve impulses in a regular continuous way
  • sequential contractions of myocardium are caused by

    flow of action potentials
  • cardiac muscle fibers help

    carry action potentials
    contract as action potential propagate
  • atrioventricular node location

    at the junction of the atria and ventricles
  • bundle branch location

    in the interventricular septum
  • spread within the ventricle wall muscles

    purkinje fibers
  • action potential first go through

    walls of atria (contract)
  •  when action potential reaches __ it pauses and then regenerates

    atrioventricular node
  • flow of action potentials process

    SA nodes are autorhythmic
    AP propagates through walls of atria
    AP reach AV nodes, pauses and regenerates
    AP propagates through through AV bundles and bundle branches
    side branches activates papillary muscles
    AP reaches apex of heart
    APs flow upwards along walls of ventricles
  • heart contraction is initiated by the

    sinoatrial node
