Q

Describe the anterior internodal path

A

leaves the anterior end of SA node & passes anterior to SVC opening.
It descends on the atrial septum & ends in the atrioventricular node.

Q

Describe the five steps of impulse conduction through the heart?

A

STEP 1:
SA node activity and atrial activation begin.
Time = 0
STEP 4:
The impulse travels along the interventricular septum within the AV bundle and the bundle branches to the Purkinie fibers and, via the moderator band, to the papillary muscles of the right ventricle.
Elapsed time = 175 msec
STEP 2:
Stimulus spreads across the atrial surfaces and reaches the
AV node.
Elapsed time = 50 msec
AV node
STEP 5:
The imputse is distributed by Purkinje fibers and relayed throughout the ventricular myocardium. Atrial contraction is completed, and ventricular contraction begins
Elapsed time = 225 msec
Purkinie fibers
AV bundle
I STEP 3:
There is a 100-msec delay at the AV node. Atrial contraction begins.
Elapsed time = 150 msec6
