Physiology Conducting System of Hea 43175eae

Slowest conducting pa in the hea is:

A
SA node
B
AV node
C
Atrial fibers
D
Bundle branches
High-Yield Explanation
Both SA node and AV node contain slowly depolarizing cells. Both of them conduct impulse slowly. Velocity of impulse through both SA node and AV node is about 0.05 - 0.1 sec. In addition, AV node has 2 more propeies: Small diameter of fibers Fewer gap junctions between adjacent cells. These features make the AV node even slower in conducting the impulse.
