Striated muscles used for fast powerful contractions
What can musculature be categorized into?
Slow and fast twitch muscles
Whats are characteristics of the Sinoatrial node?
- 60-80 beats per minute
- Primary excitation unit
- Connected to muscles of Atria
What are some characteristics of Atrioventricular node?
- Secondary excitation unit
- 40-50 beats per minute
- starts when sinus node fails
What are some characteristics of His-bundle?
- Tertiary excitation unit
- 20-30 beats per minute
- When AV node fails
What are the six sequences of a heartbeat?
- Sinus node emits impulse
