Atria Prevents Ventricles Function Non Conductive Fibrous Tissue Wave

Non-conductive fibrous tissue between the atria and ventricles prevents simultaneous contraction, allowing for a 0.1s delay for blood to fully empty from the atria into the ventricles before ventricular systole.

Il tessuto fibroso non conduttivo tra atri e ventricoli impedisce la contrazione simultanea, consentendo un ritardo di 0,1 secondi per consentire il completo svuotamento degli atri nei ventricoli prima della sistole ventricolare.

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
