Atria Prevents Ventricles Function Non Conductive Fibrous Tissue Wave

Front What is the function of non-conductive fibrous tissue between atria and ventricles?
Back - prevents wave of depolarisation from passing to ventricles
- prevents atria and ventricles contracting simaltaneously

- 0.1s delay allows blood from atria to fully empty into ventricle
- before ventricular systole
