Electrical Signal of the Heart


 Last week we covered the Anatomy of the Heart. Today, I thought it best to cover the next step needed to understand the heart. Its electrical signals that induce contraction. 






This process can be broken down into 5 simple steps:

1. SA node

2. AV node

3. Bundle of His

4. Bundle Branches

5. Purkinje Fibers


These 5 steps explain the signaling process which causes the atria and ventricles to contract. 


Thank you and I hope this helps!
