CONDUCTIVE TISSUE OF HEART•Action Potential that originates in SA
node spread to both Atria through intercalated disc and gap junction.
•From atria action potential can not pass to ventricle due to fibrous Skelton of heart which separates atria and ventricles.
•Therefore specialized conducting tissue is required (it is composed of modified Myocardial cells) to conduct the impulse

CONDUCTIVE TISSUE OF HEARTWe will see Anatomical Locations
SA NODE • It is 15mm long, 3mm wide, 1mm thick.•SA Node – It is pace-maker because it has
pace-maker potential or pre-potential – automatic depolarization.
•SA Node is situated in the right atrium near the opening of superior venaceva. It is supplied by right vagus.

CONDUCTIVE TISSUE OF HEART Anatomical Locations
INTERNODAL FIBERS•Internodal Fibers – Anterior, Middle and
Posterior [Bachman, Wenchkeback, Thorel].
AV NODE•It is situated at right posterior part of
inter atrial septum.•It is supplied by left vagus.

CONDUCTIVE TISSUE OF HEART Anatomical Locations
BUNDLE OF HIS [Atrioventricular Bundle]
It is a tract of specialized cardiac cells that originate at AV Node and passes through the fibrous ring.
![Page 9: CONDUCTIVE TISSUE OF HEART](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56813bb8550346895da4e8be/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

CONDUCTIVE TISSUE OF HEART Anatomical Locations
•Bundle of His ,after passing through fibrous ring, at the top of interventricular septum, it divides to form right bundle branch and left bundle branch that travel down along the sides of interventricular septum and lye subendocardially.
NOTE – Lt Bundle Branch has 2 fascicles Left Anterior Fascicle and Left Posterior Fascicle.

PURKINJE FIBERS From bundle branches, we get Purkinje
Fibers, they spread throughout the ventricular myocardium .

RATE OF DISCHARGE IN AUTO-RHYTHMIC TISSUE OF HEART
![Page 15: CONDUCTIVE TISSUE OF HEART](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56813bb8550346895da4e8be/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
CONDUCTIVE TISSUEWhy SA-Node is a Pace-maker?•Because its discharge rate is high 70-
80/min.•This 70-80 action potential/min drive rest
of the heart, therefore, it is known as pace-maker of the heart.
•It has pre-potential.
![Page 16: CONDUCTIVE TISSUE OF HEART](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56813bb8550346895da4e8be/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

CONDUCTIVE TISSUE
•Other auto - rhythmic tissue are firing at slow rate.
•They can work as pace-maker, if SA-Node is not functioning e.g. if AV Node takes over as pace-maker, heart rate will be about 50/min.
•Any pace-maker other than SA-Node is called ‘Ectopic Pace-maker’.
![Page 17: CONDUCTIVE TISSUE OF HEART](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56813bb8550346895da4e8be/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

SPREAD OF CARDIAC EXCITATION•Impulse arise at SA-Node and spread to
the atria [via gap junction] – Atrial Syncytium, therefore, both atria depolarize same time.
•Impulse [AP] goes to AV-Node by Internodal pathway.
•AV-Node is the only point of electrical contact between atria and ventricle [as atria and ventricle are separated by fibrous ring which is non-conductive].
![Page 18: CONDUCTIVE TISSUE OF HEART](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56813bb8550346895da4e8be/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18
SPREAD OF CARDIAC EXCITATION AV – Node•At AV-Node, there is delay of 0.1 sec [100
milli- sec].•This delay is important because it allows
the atria to contract and empty their blood into the ventricle, before impulse reaches the ventricle and causes ventricular depolarization and contraction.
![Page 19: CONDUCTIVE TISSUE OF HEART](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56813bb8550346895da4e8be/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
19
SPREAD OF CARDIAC EXCITATION Ventricular Excitation•After AV delay of 0.1sec, impulse [AP]
travels quickly via Right Bundle Branch and Left Bundle Branch [branches of Bundle of His] to Purkinje Fibers to the ventricles.
•Both ventricle depolarize, than contract at same time.
•Conduction in Purkinje Fiber is fastest 3-5 meter/sec, therefore, both ventricle
depolarize quickly and at the same time.
![Page 20: CONDUCTIVE TISSUE OF HEART](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56813bb8550346895da4e8be/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

CONDUCTION OF IMPULSE Important points•In Atria – 1 Meter/ sec•AV Node slow conduction – 0.03 to 0.05 Meter /
sec
There is delay of 0.1 sec in AV node•Purkinje fiber - 3 to 5 Meter / sec
Slowest Conduction at AV – Node Fastest Conduction - Purkinje Fibers

22
SPREAD OF CARDIAC EXCITATION Why Conduction is slow at AV-Node?•Because there are less gap junctions.•Diameter of the fiber is small.
![Page 23: CONDUCTIVE TISSUE OF HEART](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56813bb8550346895da4e8be/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

APPLIED – HEART BLOCKS
•There are three types of heart blocks: FIRST DEGREE HEART BLOCK – Every
impulse is conducted but very slowly, therefore, there is increase in conduction time [we can see on ECG].
SECOND DEGREE HEART BLOCK – Some impulses are conducted and other are not conducted.
![Page 24: CONDUCTIVE TISSUE OF HEART](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56813bb8550346895da4e8be/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
APPLIED – HEART BLOCKS THIRD DEGREE HEART BLOCK – Complete
heart block, no conduction occurs from SA Node to the ventricle through AV node, therefore, atrial rate is separate [75/min] from the ventricular rate which follows the Purkinje fibers and is about 30/min.
IMPORTANT If ventricular rate is very slow e.g. complete
heart block, we need artificial pace-maker [implanted device which generates impulse].
![Page 25: CONDUCTIVE TISSUE OF HEART](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56813bb8550346895da4e8be/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
ECTOPIC PACE-MAKER•Any pace-maker other than SA Node is called
ECTOPIC Pace-maker.• [Ectopic means out of place].• It may be in atria, ventricle.• If Ectopic Pace-maker is faster than SA node,
it will take over and heart rate will be high.•Ectopic pace-maker can occur in heart
disease or some factors can precipitate e.g. anxiety, lack of sleep, excess caffeine, alcohol.

EFFECT OF SYMPATHETIC & PARASYMPATHETIC ANS•Sympathetic ANS-- Effect on conduction –
It increases conduction as it decreases delay at AV node.
•Parasympathetic – slows the conduction as it increases delay at AV node.
