Put these autorhythmic cells into the correct order for conveying electrical signals through a normal heart: sinoatrial node internodal pathway atrioventricular node bundle of His left and right bundle branches Purkinje fibers
Adi S.
Place the components of the conducting system of the heart in the proper sequence in which they are activated. Some terms may be unfamiliar. Note that the term syncytium, pronounced "sin-sish-eum," describes an interconnected network of cardiac muscle cells. Junctional fibers lead directly to the AV node. Subendocardial conducting network SA node AV node Bundle branches AV bundle Ventricular myocardium
