Key Learning Points
Conduction Tissue
What is Conduction Tissue? Page 1
- Cardiac Conduction tissue consists of modified muscle cells, which can pace the heart and rapidly transmit electrical impulses.
Conduction Speed Variation Page 2
- Cardiac conduction tissue conducts depolarization waves much faster than muscle tissue.
- Fast myocardial muscle depolarization(a) produces a narrow ECG Wave.
- Slow myocardial muscle depolarization(b) produces a wide ECG Wave.
Conduction Fiber FunctionPage 3
- An important function of conduction tissue is to enable heart muscle to depolarize rapidly.
