None of the above

Detailed explanation-1: -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-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 components of the cardiac conduction system include (in correct sequence) the sinoatrial (SA) node, the atrioventricular (AV) node, the atrioventricular (AV) bundle, the atrioventricular (AV) bundle branches, and the Purkinje fibers.
