Facets:
value: via the electrical conduction system
type: MANNER
Source sentences:
text: Myocardial conduction cells initiate and propagate the action potential (the electrical impulse) that travels throughout the heart and triggers the contractions that propel the blood.
text: sinoatrial (SA) node sinoatrial (SA) node - group of pacemaker cells located in the wall of the right atrium, these cells have the ability to spontaneously produce an action potential that can then travel through the heart via the electrical conduction system causing contraction . . .
text: Thus, the arrangement of cardiac muscle cells within the heart is said to form an electrical and mechanical syncytium that allows a single action potential (generated within the sinoatrial node) to pass throughout the heart so that the heart can contract in a synchronous, wave-like fashion.
