Which feature of cardiac tissue allows for the rapid spread of action potentials through the heart?
Which statement best describes intrinsic conduction of the heart?
The intrinsic conduction system ensures a coordinated and efficient heartbeat. If the sinoatrial (SA) node malfunctions, which part of the heart’s conduction system is most likely to take over as the pacemaker?
Which answer choice below correctly matches the cardiac conduction structure to where it’s found in the heart?
The AV node has fewer gap junctions than the SA node, leading to slower conduction. How does this slower conduction help the heart function?
