Conduction System
Across
- 4. left branches that transmits electrical impulses from bundle of His through left ventricle
- 6. mass of tissue that transmits impulses from SA node to ventricles via bundle of His
- 9. to contract, atria and ventricles depolarize when heart beats
Down
- 1. right branch that transmits electrical impulses from bundle of His through right ventricle
- 2. transmits impulses throughout ventricles that causes ventricular contraction
- 3. muscular bundle that connects left and right atria
- 5. bundle of cardiac muscle that conducts electrical impulses from AV node to left and right bundle branches to Purkinje fibers in the ventricles
- 7. specialized tissue in the right atrium that acts like the pacemaker (60-100bpm)
- 8. to relax, atria and ventricles repolarize when heart beats
