Target type: biologicalprocess
Transfer of an organized electrical impulse across the heart to coordinate the contraction of cardiac muscles. The process begins with generation of an action potential (in the sinoatrial node (SA) in humans) and ends with a change in the rate, frequency, or extent of the contraction of the heart muscles. [GOC:dph]
Cardiac conduction is the process by which electrical impulses travel through the heart, coordinating its rhythmic contractions and enabling blood circulation. This intricate system ensures that the heart chambers contract in a synchronized manner to effectively pump blood throughout the body. Here's a detailed explanation of the process:
1. **Sinoatrial (SA) Node:** This specialized tissue in the right atrium acts as the heart's natural pacemaker. It generates electrical impulses at a regular rate, typically around 60-100 beats per minute, setting the rhythm for the entire heart.
2. **Atrial Contraction:** The electrical impulses from the SA node spread throughout the atria, causing them to contract and push blood into the ventricles.
3. **Atrioventricular (AV) Node:** Located at the junction of the atria and ventricles, the AV node acts as a gatekeeper. It delays the electrical impulse slightly, ensuring that the ventricles have enough time to fill with blood before contracting.
4. **Bundle of His and Purkinje Fibers:** The impulse then travels through the Bundle of His, a specialized pathway that branches into the left and right bundle branches. These branches further divide into a network of Purkinje fibers that spread throughout the ventricular walls.
5. **Ventricular Contraction:** The electrical impulses reach the Purkinje fibers, triggering the contraction of the ventricles. This coordinated contraction pumps blood from the ventricles to the lungs (right ventricle) and the rest of the body (left ventricle).
6. **Rhythm and Regulation:** The autonomic nervous system, composed of the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches, influences the heart rate and conduction speed. The sympathetic system speeds up the heart rate, while the parasympathetic system slows it down. Hormones like adrenaline and noradrenaline can also affect heart rate and conduction.
7. **Electrocardiogram (ECG):** The electrical activity of the heart can be recorded on an electrocardiogram (ECG). This diagnostic tool provides insights into the rhythm and health of the heart.
In summary, cardiac conduction is a complex and tightly regulated process involving specialized tissues, pathways, and regulatory mechanisms. It ensures the efficient pumping of blood by coordinating the rhythmic contractions of the heart chambers.'
