Elements of the cardiac conduction system

 

Where does the impulse start?

 

⚡️The impulse starts at the sinoatrial node (SA node) the hearts natural pacemaker

 

⚡️The impulse travels through the internodal pathways to the atrioventricular node (AV node)

 

⚡️From the AV node the impulse then travels down the bundle of His to both left and right bundle branches.

 

⚡️ Finally this impulse travels from the left and right bundle branches to the purkinje fibers.
