Wikipedia

  1. Bundle of His

    The bundle of His (BH): 58  or His bundle (HB): 232  ( "hiss") is a collection of heart muscle cells specialized for electrical conduction. As part of the electrical conduction system of the heart, it transmits the electrical impulses from the atrioventricular node (located between the atria and the ventricles) to the point of the apex of the fascicular branches via the bundle branches. The fascicular branches then lead to the Purkinje fibers, which provide electrical conduction to the ventricles, causing the cardiac muscle of the ventricles to contract at a paced interval.

    The bundle of His is a bundle of cardiac muscle fibers located within the septum of the heart. Named after Wilhelm His Jr., who first discovered them, these fibers play a crucial role in the electrical conduction system of the heart. They transmit electrical impulses from the atrioventricular node directly to the ventricles, allowing for synchronized contraction of the heart muscles and subsequent blood flow.
