This conduction system is composed of a group of special cells found in the walls of the heart muscle which send the electrical impulses and cause the heart muscle to contract. In nursing school especially in your pathophysiology or anatomy class you will have to know how the Sinoatrial node SA node Atrioventricle node AV node Bundle of His right and left bundle branches and Purkinje fibers work to make the heart contract. Cardiac Muscle And Electrical Activity Anatomy And Physiology The cardiac conduction system is a network of specialized cardiac muscle cells that initiate and transmit the electrical impulses responsible for the coordinated contractions of each cardiac cycleThese special cells are able to generate an action potential on their own self-excitation and pass it on to other nearby cells conduction including cardiomyocytes. . The hearts natural pacemaker the sinus node produces electrical signals that prompt your heart to beat...
