Solution

The functions of the atrioventricular node are:

b. to regulate ventricular systole. d. Receives impulses from the sinoatrial node.

The atrioventricular (AV) node does not cause all the tissue of the ventricles to contract almost at once, nor does it send out rapid impulses throughout the ventricular tissue, causing the cells to contract. These functions are performed by the Purkinje fibers. The AV node's primary function is to act as a gatekeeper for the electrical impulses traveling from the atria to the ventricles, ensuring that the ventricles have enough time to fill with blood before they contract.

What event occurs when electrical impulses from the atrioventricular node are transmitted to the entire ventricular system? The Bundle of His and the Purkinje fibers transmit the electrical impulses from the atrioventricular node to the entire ventricular system, resulting in or contraction from the bottom of the heart.

The atrioventricular node a. Is connected to specialized wide, fast conducting myocytes in the bundle of His and Purkinje fibres b. Delays impulses for about 200 ms, allowing time for atrial contraction to complete ventricular filling c. Is a band of fibrous connective tissue which separates the atria from the ventricles d. Conducts impulses rapidly allowing almost immediate activation of ventricular muscle

What is the role of the internodal atrial muscle cells?Multiple ChoiceTo act as pacemaker, generating new cardiac impulsesTo stimulate movement of the atrioventricular valvesTo carry cardiac impulses to areas of the atrial walls far from the SA nodeTo carry the cardiac impulse from the atrial muscle to the ventricular muscle

Conduction of impulses between the atria and the ventricles is channelled through the a. Annulus fibrosus b. AV node c. SA node d. Bundle of His
