Physiology Conducting System of Hea d875167a

Fastest conducting pa in the hea is:

A
Atrial muscle
B
Ventricular muscle
C
Bundle branches
D
Purkinje fibers
High-Yield Explanation
Purkinje fibers are the fast conducting pa of the hea. It exhibit the following propeies: (1) Rapidly depolarizing fibers, (2) large diameter of fibers (largest in hea), and (3) high number of gap junctions between cells. These propeies make Purkinje fibers the fastest conducting pa in hea. Rapid conduction benefits the ventricular contraction. Since impulse spreads very rapidly, all fibers are excited almost simultaneously; all fibers of both ventricles contract together.
