Purkinje's System (Noun)
Meaning
A network of Purkinje fibers that carry the cardiac impulse from the atrioventricular node to the ventricles of the heart and causes them to contract.
Classification
Nouns denoting body parts.
Examples
- The Purkinje system is a complex network of specialized fibers that rapidly transmit electrical impulses throughout the heart.
- Purkinje's system is responsible for coordinating the contraction of the ventricles, ensuring a synchronized and efficient heartbeat.
- The Purkinje system is a critical component of the heart's electrical conduction system, allowing for rapid transmission of impulses from the atrioventricular node to the ventricles.
- Damage to Purkinje's system can lead to abnormal heart rhythms and potentially life-threatening arrhythmias.
- The Purkinje system is composed of specialized fibers that are capable of rapidly transmitting electrical impulses, allowing for coordinated contraction of the ventricles.
