The pausing of electrical conduction at the AV node is critical to heart function because O ATP needs to be regenerated during this pause. O it allows the atrial cardiomyocytes to complete their contraction that pumps blood into the ventricles. O it allows the ventricles to get a little extra rest before contracting again. O electrolytes need to be balanced during this pause.

How does an increase in heart rate contribute to an increase in blood pressure? O It increases the total peripheral resistance as it increases the amount of blood entering the blood vessels per minute. O It increases the cardiac output as this is solely determined by the heart rate. O It increases the cardiac output, as this is determined by the stroke volume and the heart rate. It reduces the cardiac output, as this is inversely proportional to the heart rate. O It increases the stroke volume as it will cause an increase the force of contraction of the heart.
