Questions and Answers

What is the role of the SA node in the heart?

  • It connects the AV node to the ventricles
  • It causes ventricular contraction by generating an electrical impulse
  • It causes atrial contraction by generating an electrical impulse (correct)
  • It delays the electrical impulse from reaching the ventricles
  • How is atrial depolarization initiated?

  • By the bundle of His
  • By the SA node (correct)
  • By the Purkinje fibers
  • By the AV node
  • What is the purpose of the AV nodal delay?

  • To speed up the conduction of electrical impulse to the ventricles
  • To prevent the spread of electrical impulse to the ventricles
  • To ensure efficient blood flow by allowing the atria to complete their contraction before the ventricles contract (correct)
  • To generate an electrical impulse for ventricular depolarization
  • What is the function of the bundle of His?
