Questions and Answers

What does LV stand for in the context of the heart?

  • Left Ventricle (correct)
  • Right Atrium
  • Left Atrium
  • Right Ventricle

What is the function of the SA Node?

The SA node, or sinoatrial node, is the heart's natural pacemaker. It generates electrical impulses that cause the heart to beat.

What is the role of internodal pathways?

Internodal pathways conduct the electrical impulse from the SA node to the AV node.

What is the role of the AV node?

<p>The AV node delays the electrical impulse from the atria before sending it to the ventricles.</p> Signup and view all the answers

What is Bachman's bundle?

<p>Bachman's bundle is an extension of the anterior internodal pathway that conducts impulses directly from the right atrium to the left atrium.</p> Signup and view all the answers

What is the function of the left and right bundle branches?

<p>The left and right bundle branches carry the electrical impulse down the interventricular septum.</p> Signup and view all the answers

What is the function of the Purkinje fibers?

<p>Purkinje fibers distribute electrical impulses throughout the ventricles, causing them to contract.</p> Signup and view all the answers

RV

Right Ventricle; pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs.

LA
