The cardiac conduction system includes all of the following except
- a. tlie SA node.
- b. the AV node.
- c. the bundle blanches.
- d. the tendinous cords.
- e. the subendocardial conducting network.

Introduction:
Heartbeat is an autonomous involuntary action. Even though it is an involuntary action, heartbeat initiation and conduction is solely controlled by the heart itself, irrespective of the central autonomic control from the nervous system. Heartbeat is initiated by the sinoatrial node, the pacemaker of the heart. From the SA node, it passes through a series of conduction system like atrioventricular node (AV) node, bundle of his, and finally by the sub-endocardial conducting network, so called as the Purkinje fibers. This is the general heart conduction pathway.
Answer to Problem 1TYR
Correct answer:
The cardiac conduction system includes all the following components, except the tendinous cords. Therefore, option d is correct.
Explanation of Solution
Justify reasons for the correct statement:
Tendinous cords are the heart strings that connect the papillary muscles with the atrioventricular valves (bicuspid and tricuspid valves) of the heart. These tendinous cords are responsible for preventing the valves from getting prolapse during heart beat contraction and relaxation.
Option (d) is given as “tendinous cords”.
Tendinous cord is not a part of heartbeat conduction system.
Hence, option (d) is correct.
Justify reasons for the incorrect statements:
Option (a) is given as “the SA node”.
SA node so called as the sinoatrial node is the pacemaker of the heart. It is the prime nodal center in the heart beat initiation from where the heartbeat is originated. Hence, it is wrong answer.
Option (b) is given as “the AV node”.
AV node so called as atrioventricular node is just beneath the SA node in the junction of atrium and ventricular fusion. The heartbeat initiation pulse started from the SA node travels to the AV node immediately. Hence it is wrong answer.
Option (c) is given as “the bundle of branches”.
Bundle of branches or otherwise called as bundle of his is the third prominent nodal center in receiving the heartbeat conduction impulse originated from SA node to AV node. Hence it is the wrong answer.
Option (e) is given as “the sub-endocardial conducting network”.
Sub-endocardial network, so called as the Purkinje fibers, which is a network of fibers supplied in the walls of ventricles. The heartbeat initiation command impulse originated from SA node and travel to AV node and through bundle of his and finally it reaches the Purkinje fibers, whereby it passes the signal to the entire heart muscles. Hence, it is the wrong answer.
Hence, options (a), (b), (c), and (e) are incorrect.
Tendinous cord is a heart string that connects the papillary muscles with that of atrioventricular valves, which help them to open and close better without any prolapse.

Affected individuals show spots of abnormal skin pigmentation and non-cancerous tumors that can interfere with the nervous system and cause blindness. Some tumors can convert to a cancerous form. i The recessive form is a normal protein - in other words, no neurofibromatosis.moovi A typical pedigree for a family that carries neurofibromatosis is shown below.

Aerobic respiration of one lipid molecule. The lipid is composed of one glycerol molecule connected to two fatty acid tails. One fatty acid is 12 carbons long and the other fatty acid is 18 carbons long in the figure below. Use the information below to determine how much ATP will be produced from the glycerol part of the lipid. Then, in part B, determine how much ATP is produced from the 2 fatty acids of the lipid. Finally put the NADH and ATP yields together from the glycerol and fatty acids (part A and B) to determine your total number of ATP produced per lipid. Assume no other carbon source is available. 18 carbons fatty acids 12 carbons 9 glycerol A. Glycerol is broken down to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, a glycolysis intermediate via the following pathway shown in the figure below. Notice this process costs one ATP but generates one FADH2.
