why is the only path of conduction for impulse transmission from the atria to the ventricles through the av node and av bundle?

Biology

Because the AV node takes on the role of a very important delay in the cardiac conduction system. Without this delay, the atria and ventricles would contract at the same time.

<h3>Cardiac conduction system</h3>

The conduction system of the heart sends electrical signals, usually generated by the sinus nodes, causing the heart muscle to contract. Pacemaker signals originating from the sinus node travel through the right atrium to the atrioventricular (AV) along the bundle of His and through branches of the bundle, causing myocardial contraction. This signal first stimulates contraction of the right and left atria then flows to the right and left ventricles. That electric current then allows blood to be pumped throughout the body.

Answer: option D

The sodium potassium ion exchange move sodium and potassium in opposite direction in electrochemical gradients.

Explanation:

The sodium potassium pump is found in many animals plasma membranes and its moves the sodium and potassium ion in opposite direction across the plasma membrane with the hydrolysis of ATP(adenosine triphosphate) to supply the needed energy. It is an active transport process.

6. explain the relationship between temperature and pressure. why do you think this occurs?​
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

The pressure of a given amount of gas is directly proportional to the temperature at a given amount of volume. When the temperature of a system goes up, the pressure also goes up, and vice versa.

Explanation:

This occurs because of the pressure temperature law. (or also known as the Gay-Lussac's law)
