how are APs velocity conducted
conducted at different velocities throughout specialized myocardial cells
spread of AP’s generate at SA node
spread rapidly to atria & av node at .8-1 meters a second
AP @ AV node
Ap velocity slows down to .003-.05m/sec
what does reduced velocity allow for
allows for delay in ventricular contraction
why doe reduced velocity allow for delay
bc atria must contract 1st so ventricles get chance to fill with blood
AP velocity @ AV bundle
speeds up
AP velocity @ purkinje fibers
speeds up to 5m/sec and then goes to ventricular walls
AP @ ventricular walls
spread throughout and causes ventricular contraction
when do ventricles contract
.1→.2 seconds after atria
