question 99

Multiple Choice

The function of the ventricular conduction system of the heart is to

• A) spread the action potential throughout the ventricle to ensure a single, coordinated contraction of the both ventricles
• B) spread the action potential in the absence of sympathetic stimulation
• C) spread the action potential throughout the atria and ventricles
• D) slow down the original action potential so it has time to spread through the ventricles evenly
• E) spread the action potential throughout the ventricle to ensure a single, coordinated contraction of the both ventricles, and slow down the original action potential so it has time to spread through the ventricles evenly
