Bundle of His
#6
Where is the atrioventricular (AV) node located?

#12
Which part of the heart conduction system is responsible for transmitting impulses rapidly throughout the ventricles?
Atrioventricular (AV) Node
Sinoatrial (SA) Node
Bundle of His
Purkinje fibers
#13
Which of the following conditions is characterized by an irregular heart rhythm due to abnormal electrical activity in the heart?
