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.

What is the difference between meiosis and mitosis
musickatia [10]
Meiosis has two rounds of genetic separation and cellular division while mitosis only has one of each. In meiosis homologous chromosomes separate leading to daughter cells that are not genetically identical. In mitosis the daughter cells are identical to the parent as well as to each other.

What is a communicable disease chain? what steps can a nurse can take to break a link within the communicable disease chain?
Kaylis [27]
<span>A diseases may be classified as either communicable or non-communicable. Communicable diseases are caused by pathogens who inhabit a host, man (I'm not saying man is the only host or man is necessarily the final host; there could be many host) who in turn passes the disease to another. Pathogens are viral, bacterial, parasitic and fungal. There are several stages before the pathogen metamorphoses into a full-blown disease. The stages in which several events happen builds up before the pathogen affects the final host is called a communicable disease chain. There are six stages ( Pathogen, reservoir, portal of ext, mode of transmission, portal of entry and susceptible host) in the communicable disease chain but the step a nurse shouod take is 1. Destroy the second link (Reservoir) by thoroughly sanitizing the environment. Obviously, this is where the Pathogens live. If the reservoir is taken care of; there's no way they could infect the host.</span>
