Summary Introduction
To determine:
The importance of delay of electrical impulse by AV node by moving through SA node and atria to ventricles.
Introduction:
The association of organized cardiac muscle cells, which got specialized in their functioning, is called cardiac conduction system. The cardiac excitation originating from sinoatrial node and depolarizing in Purkinje fibers is called cardiac impulse.

Several years ago, the deaths of several airline travelers led to the warning about “economic-class syndrome.” The idea is that economic-class passengers do not have as much leg room as passengers in more expensive seats, so they are more likely to sit essentially motionless for long periods of flights-conditions that may allow blood to pool and clots to form in the legs. This condition is called deep-vein thrombosis, or DVT. Given what you know about blood flow in the veins, explain why periodically getting up and moving around in a plane’s cabin during a long flight may lower the risk that a cloth will form.
What is the Rhesus factor? Explain the complications that may arise from blood incompatibilities.
Along with platelet plug formation, which two mechanisms contribute to hemostasis?
