Students have asked these similar questions
Which of the following structures acts to carry electrical impulse to the ventricles?
chordae tendineae
Purkinje fibers
papillary muscles
SA node
Why is resting heart rate somewhat slower than the 80–100 bpm set by the SA node?
The AV bundle branches slow the heart rate down.
Sympathetic fibers release norepinephrine to slow heart rate.
The AV node slows the heart to an average between its own rate and that of the SA node.
Parasympathetic effects dominate in a resting individual
A class of drugs called beta-blockers are commonly
prescribed to cardiac patients in order to reduce their heart
rate. Beta-blockers slow heart rate by reducing the
conduction of action potentials through the A-V
(atrioventricular) node. The most likely effect on an ECG
shorter R-R interval
shorter Q-T interval
longer P-R interval
longer T wave
