58
Q

From the right atrium, impulse from the SA node travels to the left atrium via what?

A

-The Bachmann Bundle

59
Q

When the ventricles begin to contract, you hear the first heart sound due to what?

-The AV valves closing

60
Q

What is the term that describes the beginning of the ventricular contraction during which the volume of blood does not change, and pressure increases?

A

-Isovolumic ventricular contraction

61
Q

The building of pressure from the isovolumic contraction causes what?
