Conduction
System
(1) Conduction System of Heart
• Conduction System = Heart Beat & Pumping
• Depolarization Path:
1. SA Node AV Node
2. Atria Contract
3. (Delay) AV Bundle
4. Ventricles Contract
(Blood ejected out of arteries, leaving heart)

(3) Nodes & Bundles
• Sinoatrial Node (SA Node)
– Right atrium
– Starts each heart beat & sets rate
– “Pacemaker”
• AV Bundle =
– Bundle Branches (along septum)
– Purkinje Fibers (along entire muscular wall of heart)
(4) Cardiac Cycle
• Diastole = Relax
– Blood passively filling atria
• Systole = Contract
– Ventricles contract
– Blood Ejected out of heart
(5) Diastole
1. Ventricles relax
2. AV valves close

(8) Cardiac Output
• Cardiac Output
– Amount of blood pumped out by each ventricle / 1
minute
– Cardiac Output = Heart Rate x Stroke Volume
– CO = (HR)(SV)
• Stroke Volume
– Volume of blood pumped out by ventricle
– Increase of SV = Increase of ventricular force +
contraction
