The conduction system of the heart is a specialized network of nodes and fibers that generate and transmit electrical impulses, allowing the heart to beat in a coordinated rhythm. This ensures efficient pumping of blood throughout the body. 🫀 Main Components of the Conduction System: 1. Sinoatrial (SA) Node – “The pacemaker of the heart” • Location: Right atrium (near the opening of the superior vena cava). • Function: Initiates electrical impulses that set the heart rate (normally 60–100 bpm).
