What is this?
The Heart Conduction System is like your heart's own electrical wiring. It sends tiny electrical signals that tell your heart muscles when to squeeze and pump blood. This keeps your heart beating in a steady rhythm, all day and all night!
Key Parts to Explore
SA Node
This is like the heart's natural pacemaker, starting each heartbeat with an electrical signal.
AV Node
This node receives the signal from the SA node and then passes it on to the rest of the heart.
Bundle of His
This acts like a highway, carrying the electrical signal from the AV node down into the lower parts of the heart.
Purkinje Fibers
These tiny fibers spread the electrical signal quickly through the heart's pumping chambers, making them squeeze.
Did You Know?
Your heart has its own tiny electrical system that makes it beat all by itself, even if it's outside your body for a short time!
