The role of the bundle of his, bundle branches, and purkinje fibers is to Help conduct the electrical pulse (action potential) to the top of the heart first before allowing the contraction to spread to the atria. Help conduct the electrical pulse (action potential) to the whole ventricle. Help conduct the electrical pulse (action potential) to the bottom of the heart first to allow it to spread from the bottom to the top of the heart. To allow the electrical pulse (action potential) to pause for 0.1s before spreading to the ventricle.

Figure 40.11 Which of the following statements about the heart is false? The mitral valve separates the left ventricle from the left atrium. Blood travels through the bicuspid valve to the left atrium. Both the aortic and the pulmonary valves are semilunar valves. The mitral valve is an atrioventricular valve.
Fibrillation is abnormal, rapid contractions of different parts of the heartthat prevent the heart muscle from contracting as a single unit. Explainwhy atrial fibrillation does not immediately cause death but ventricularfibrillation does.

isovolumetric contraction isovolumetric relaxation ventricular filling ventricular ejection closed rises S1 drops depolarize S2 The first phase of the cardiac cycle is . This is when a lot of blood is in the atria, which causes atrial pressure to be higher than the ventricles. The atrioventricular valves open, and blood moves from the atria to the ventricles. At the end of this phase, the atria contract to maintain pressure and blood flow into the ventricles. As blood leaves the atria, the pressure in the atria As blood enters the ventricles, the pressure in the ventricles Towards the end of this phase, the pressure in the ventricles will exceed the pressure in the atria. At this point, the heart enters the second phase of the cardiac cycle: At this point, the AV valves shut, and we hear . The atria repolarize and the ventricles (due to the QRS complex of the ECG), causing ventricular contraction. Although contracting, it is not yet moving blood into the arteries. All 4 heart valves…
How does the L-type voltage-gated channels on the contractile myocardial fibers rapidly closing affect the heart? the on the contractile myocardial cells will have a lower resting potential long action potentials on the contractile myocardial cells faster depolarization in the contractile myocardial cells Shorter action potentials on the contractile myocardial cells larger magnitude of depolarization in the contractile myocardial cells
Because of a reduced blood supply to the AV node, the delay in theconduction of action potentials from the SA node to the AV node isincreased slightly. All other areas of the conducting system of the heartare functioning normally. Predict how this affects the normal rhythm ofthe heart.
High pressure in the systemic and pulmonary circuit often results in ventricular hypertrophy in which the ventricle enlarges to pump against the greater force. Which side(s) of the heart would affected by high pressure in the pulmonary circuit? Which side(s) of the heart would be affected by high pressure in the systemic circuit? Could you explain this answer? Thank you
Explain why it is more efficient for contraction of the ventricles to beginat the apex of the heart than at the base.
