Term: atroventricular Definition: located just above the tricuspid in the atrium Term: What is the AV delay?Definition: The atrioventricular node delays impulses by approximately 0.12s. This delay in the cardiac pulse is extremely important: It ensures that the atria have ejected their blood into the ventricles first before the contract. Term: of his Definition: collection of heart muscle cells specialized for conduction that transmits the electrical impulses from the AV node (located between the atria and the ventricles) to the point of the apex of the bundle branches.
