(a) Name the elements of the intrinsic conduction system of the heart in order, beginning with the pacemaker. (b) What is the important function of this conduction system?
Figure shows the conduction system of the heart that transmit the electrical impulses
for the coordination of cardiac cycle.
a) Referring to the Figure , which part of the heart's electrical conduction is known as
the “pacemaker” of the heart?
b)Explain how D controls atria and ventricles which causes ventricular systole.
The amount of blood forced out of the heart depends on the, (a) degree of stretching at the end of ventricular diastole. (b) contractility of the ventricle.(c) amount of pressure required to eject blood. (d) a, b, and c are correct.
