Origin of heart beat and its conduction is represented by
- AV node $\rightarrow$ Bundle of His $\rightarrow$ SA node $\rightarrow$ Purkinje fibres
- SA node $\rightarrow$ Purkinje fibres $\rightarrow$ AV node $\rightarrow$ Bundle of His
- Purkinje fibres $\rightarrow$ AV node $\rightarrow$ SA node $\rightarrow$ Bundle of His
- SA node $\rightarrow$ AV node $\rightarrow$ Bundle of His $\rightarrow$ Purkinje fibres

D
Correct answer
Explanation
- The impulse for heart beat is originated in SA node. It is known as the pace maker of heart and situated in upper right corner of right atrium.
- The electrical impulses generated by SA node are conducted to Atrio Ventricular or AV node.
- From the AV node, the impulses are transmitted to AV bundle, known as bundle of His which convey the impulses of contraction to the apex of myocardium.
- The impulses cause the Purkinje fibres to sweep upwards and outwards which results in pumping of blood into aorta and pulmonary artery.
- So, the correct sequence of propagation of cardiac impulse is SA node, AV node, Bundle of His, Purkinje fibres.
So, the correct answer is 'SA node →→ AV node →→ Bundle of His →→ Purkinje fibres'.
