In order to allow the ventricles enough time to properly fill and to allow the atria to empty. A. The atrioventricular (AV) node delays the electrical impulse that originated from the sinoatrial (SA) node. B. The myocardium is composed of type I muscle fibers to contract slowly to allow the ventricles to fill. C. The Purkinje fibers contract slowly. D. The atrioventricular (AV) bundle slows the electrical impulse that originated from the AV node.

Which component of the heart conduction system would have the slowest rate of firing? a. atrioventricular node b. atrioventricular bundle c. bundle branches d. Purkinje fibers
What events occur when electrical impulses from the atrioventricular node are transmitted to the entire ventricular system? The bundle of His and the Purkinje fibers transmit the electrical impulses from the atrioventricular node to the entire ventricular system, resulting in (______) or contraction from the bottom of the heart?
