Bachmann’s bundle

Following initiation of the electrical impulse from the SA node, the impulse travels through the internodal pathways of the specialized atrial conduction system and Bachmann s bundle (Fig. 6-1 j.1 The atrial conducting fibers do not traverse the entire breadth of the left and right atria, as impulse conduction occurs across the internodal pathways, and when the impulse reaches the end of Bachmann s bundle, atrial depolarization spreads as a wave similar to that which occurs upon throwing a...
