The right bundle carries nerve impulses that cause contraction of the right ventricle (the lower chamber of the heart) and the left bundle carries nerve impulses that cause contraction of the left ventricle.

The function of the right bundle branches is to carry nerve impulses that cause the right ventricle to contract. The left bundle carry the nerves that contract the left ventricle.

How many bundle branches does the heart have?

There are two bundle branches, right and left.


Where do nerve impulses travel from to enter the bundle branches?

Nerve impulses come through the sinus node of the heart to the bundle of His and then move into the right and left bundle branches.


Location of the Left and right bundle branches?

The left bundle branch divides into anterior and posterior fascicles, running along the septum. The right bundle branch is located in the right side of the interventricular septum.


What are the five areas of specialized myocardium?

sinoatrial node, right and left bundle branches, atrioventricular node, atrioventricular bundle, ventricular walls.


The correct sequence in the conduction system of the heart is?

SA node, Internodal pathways, AV node, Bundle of His, Bundle branches, Purkinje fibers.


What is The order of impulse conduction in the heart from beginning to end?

The impulse starts in the right atria in the sinus node, then travels through the intratrial fibers for atrial contraction, then travels down to the the av node where it is delayed, then travels down through the bundle branches to the purkinjee fibers to the ventricular myocardium for contraction.


What is the correct path for the transmission of an impulse in the instrinsic condition system of the heart?

sinoatrial (SA) node, atrioventricular (AV) node, atrioventricular (AV) bundle, right and left bundle branches, Perkinje fibers


If a myocardial infarct destroyed a portion of the right or left bundle branches what potential change might you see in the ECG?

Damage to the right or left bundle branches can lead to bundle branch blocks on the ECG. A right bundle branch block typically shows widened QRS complexes with an rSR' pattern in V1, while a left bundle branch block shows widened QRS complexes with deep S waves in V1 and broad R waves in lateral leads.


What component of the conduction system is located between the ventricles?

The bundle of His is the component of the conduction system located between the ventricles. It is responsible for transmitting electrical signals from the atrioventricular node to the Purkinje fibers in the ventricles.


What is the the correct path for the transmission of an impulse in the intrinsic conduction system of the heart?

sinoatrial (SA) node, atrioventricular (AV) node, atrioventricular (AV) bundle, right and left bundle branches, Purkinje fibers


What does QRS wave represent in a EKG?

P wave represent the electrical impulse across the right and left atrium. It travels across the atrial wall. Qrs complex indicates the electrical impulse through the myocardial ventricles. It travels through the bundle of HIS (GOD), right and left bundle branches and then across the right and left ventricular walls.


Name the elements of the intrinsic conduction system in order?

The elements of the intrinsic conduction system in the heart in order are the sinoatrial (SA) node, the atrioventricular (AV) node, the bundle of His, the bundle branches, and the Purkinje fibers. The SA node (pacemaker) generates electrical impulses, the AV node delays the signal, the bundle of His and bundle branches conduct the signal through the ventricles, and the Purkinje fibers distribute the signal throughout the ventricular muscle.
