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?

within the interventricular septum


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

there is the junctional node, the bundle of his and the left and right bundle branches


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?

You can see the M pattern in ECG in place of ORS complex. In case of right bundle branch block, you see the M pattern in lead V one. In case of left bundle branch block, you see the M pattern in lead V six.


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.


What are the structures involved in the conduction system of the heart?

Internal pacemaker , sinoatrial(sa) node, atrioventricular (av) node , atrioventricular bundle (bundle of his ) and purkinje fibres.
