Normal cardiac rhythm is established by the sinoatrial (SA) node, a specialized clump of conducting cells located in the superior right atrium. The electrical impulse then spreads throughout the atria and arrives at the atrioventricular (AV) node. This clump of specialized conductive cells delays the signal to allow the left and right atria to finish their contractions and pump blood into the ventricles.  From here, the signal is carried into the interventricular septum by the atrioventricular bundle. This structure proceeds to divide into the left and right bundle of His branches which travel down the interventricular septum. At the apex of the heart, ___________ spread the impulse to the myocardial contractile cells in the ventricles.
