Complete the following statements: 1. The cells (fibers) of the cardiac conduction system are specialized ________ tissue. 2. Normally, the ________ node serves as the pacemaker of the heart. 3. The ________ node is located in the inferior portion of the interatrial septum. 4. The large fibers on the distal side of the AV node make up the ________. 5. The fibers that carry cardiac impulses from the interventricular septum into the myocardium are called ________ fibers. 6. A(An) ________ is a recording of electrical changes occurring in the myocardium during the cardiac cycle. 7. Between cardiac cycles, cardiac muscle fibers remain ________ with no detectable electrical changes.

Which of the following is the CORRECT order of events in the control of the heartbeat? 1. activation of the SA node 2. contraction of the atria 3. contraction of the ventricles 4. activation of the AV node 5. transmission of the action potential through a set of modified conducting muscle fibers 1, 3, 4, 2, 5 1, 2, 5, 4, 3 1, 4, 2, 5, 3 1, 5, 4, 2, 3 1, 2, 4, 5, 3

Read the following statements and select the correct ones. (i) Nodal tissue is specialised cardiac musculature in human heart which has the ability to generate action potential due to an external stimuli. (ii) Position of SAN - right corner of right atrium (iii) Position of AVN - right corner of ventricle (iv) AV bundle continues from AVN (v) Purkinje fibres are modified cardiac muscle fibres that originate from the atriowentricular node and spread into the two ventricles. (a) (i) and (ii) (b) (i) and (iii) (c) (ii), (iv) and (v) (d) All of these
