Specifically, what part of the intrinsic conduction system stimulates the atrioventricular (AV) node to conduct impulses to the atrioventricular bundle? Pathways of action potential propagation during a cardiac cycle.

Which of the following statements about the initiation and spread of depolarization is incorrect? the contraction of the right atrium spreads to the left atrium the contraction of the ventricles begins at the AV node and spreads downwards the AV node detects the contraction of the atria and sends the depolarization signal via the conducting system to the ventricles depolarization of the heart muscle begins in the SA node At the conclusion of diastole during the cardiac cycle, the _____ creates a 'Lub' sound when it closes. A- atrioventricular valve B- pulmonary valve C- aortic valve answer choices B and C are both correct
uring cardiac cycle valves must open and close at the proper time to allow proper blood flow: atrioventricular valves are open during atria and ventricular diastole b. atrioventricular valves close at beginning of ventricular systole semilunar valves open towards the end of ventricular systole semilunar valves close due to back pressure In the pulmonary trunk and aortic
