Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Order the phases as an action potential travels within in the conduction system.
A
SA node
B
SA node
C
Av bundle branches
D
Purkinje fibers
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The SA node starts the sequence by causing the atrial muscles to contract. That’s why doctors sometimes call it the anatomical pacemaker. Next, the signal travels to the AV node, through the bundle of HIS, down the bundle branches, and through the Purkinje fibers, causing the ventricles to contract.

Detailed explanation-2: -Final answer: SA node → AV node → Bundle of His → Purkinje fibers represent the correct sequence of the origin and conduction of action potential.

Detailed explanation-3: -The SA node (physiologicalpacemaker) starts the sequence by generating an electrical impulse, causing the atrial muscles to contract. From there, the signal travels to the AV node, then through the bundle of His, down the bundle branches, and through the Purkinje fibers, causing the ventricles to contract.

Detailed explanation-4: -The sino-atrial (SA) node. The atrio-ventricular (AV) node. The bundle of His. The left and right bundle branches. The Purkinje fibres.
