conduction system of the heart

0.01 sec.

conduction system of the heart,

the network of highly specialized muscle tissue that transmits the electrical impulses needed for a heartbeat. It includes the sinus and atrioventricular (AV) nodes, the conducting fibers between the nodes, the AV bundle (bundle of His), the left and right bundle branches, and the Purkinje fibers. See also cardiac cycle.
