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

1 answer:

7 0

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.

Why does the swing of a pendulum become lower over time? (site 1)

kupik [55]

When the swing is raised and released, it will move freely back and forth due to the force of gravity on it. The swing continues moving back and forth without any extra outside help until friction between the air and the swing and between the chains and the attachment points slows it down and eventually stops it.

What was the size of the Krakatau explosion probably the result of?

mr_godi [17]

The 1883 eruption of Krakatoa (Indonesian: Krakatau ) in the Sunda Strait began on the afternoon of Sunday, 26 August 1883—with origins as early as May of that year—and peaked on the late morning of Monday, 27 August 1883, when over 70% of the island of Krakatoa and its surrounding archipelago were destroyed as it collapsed into a caldera.

Isovolumetric relaxation and ventricular filling (two phases of the cardiac cycle) take place during __________. Isovolumetric r

Helga [31]

Answer:

Option B, ventricular diastole

Explanation:

Ventricular diastole also termed as ventricular relaxation consists of two phases. In the first phase, the following set of events takes place –

a) Relaxation of ventricle muscles

b) Reduction in pressure of blood within the ventricles

c) As this reduced blood pressure gets lower than that of pressure with in the pulmonary trunk and aorta, blood starts flowing back towards the heart.

d) A small dip in the blood pressure is observed at this stage

e) Volume at this stage remains constant as the atrioventricular valves remain closed

f) This phase is known as isovolumic ventricular relaxation phase

In the second phase, the following set of events takes place –

a) Relaxation of ventricular muscle

b) Dropping of pressure of the blood within the ventricles lower than that of pressure of blood in the atria

c) Blood starts flowing from atria into the ventricles thereby opening the tricuspid and mitral valves

d) Both the heart chambers chambers are in diastole,

e) Atrioventricular valves are open

f) Semilunar valves remain closed

Hence, option B is correct
