Question
in the ventricles, the action potential travels along the interventricular septum to the apex of the heart, where it then spreads superiorly along the ventricle walls. true or false true false
The electrical conduction system of the heart includes the atrioventricular (AV) bundle which divides into left and right bundle branches that run along the interventricular septum. The Purkinje fibers then conduct the action potential to the apex of the heart and then superiorly along the ventricle walls, causing ventricular contraction from the apex upward. This is consistent with the statement given.
