A nursing student is reviewing the electrical conduction of the heart. The student is correct in identifying the sinoatrial node of the heart
What is the pacemaker?
The sinoatrial node is often called the pacemaker of the heart because it generates impulses that are conducted through the heart. The impulse is conducted across the atria to the AV node, which then relays the impulse to the AV bundle or bundle of His. From here the impulse travels down the right and left bundle branches and the Purkinje fibers in the myocardium of both ventricles. All these structures make up the conduction system of the heart.
Cyclical process that alternates with longer periods of wakefulness
What is sleep
