Detailed explanation-1: -The bundle of His is also called the atrioventricular bundle. It is a branch of fibers (nerve cells) that extends from your AV node. This fiber bundle receives the electrical signal from the AV node and carries it to the Purkinje fibers.
Detailed explanation-2: -The electrical impulse travels from the sinus node to the atrioventricular node (also called AV node). There, impulses are slowed down for a very short period, then continue down the conduction pathway via the bundle of His into the ventricles.
Detailed explanation-3: -The bundle of His consists of wide, fast-conducting muscle fibers that carry the cardiac impulse through the insulating annulus fibrosus into the fibrous upper part of the ventricular septum. There, it becomes the left bundle branch and the right bundle branch.
