The bundle of His splits into left and right bundle branches that carry an electrical impulse to the ____.
A) SA node
B) AV node
C) AV bundle
D) Purkinje fibers
E) mitral valve
Bundle of His
A collection of heart muscle cells specialized for electrical conduction that transmits the electrical impulses from the AV node (atrioventricular node) to the ventricles of the heart.
Purkinje Fibers
Specialized conducting fibers located within the heart's ventricular walls that facilitate electrical impulses for heart contractions.
AV Node
The atrioventricular node, a part of the heart's electrical control system that acts as a gatekeeper for electrical impulses between the atria and ventricles.
