Named after Wilhelm His, an A-V bundle or atrioventricular bundle of small mass fibers. The only known direct connection between the ventricles and the atria that conducts impulses to the ventricular heart muscle.
A group of conduction fibers that descend from the atrioventricular (AV) node to the bundle branches.
The bundle of conduction fibres linking the AV node to the bundle branches.
Specialized conducting tissue that carries the electrical stimuli from the AV Node to the ventricles. The Bundle of His splits into a right bundle for the right ventricle and two left bundles for the left ventricle.
The bundle of His is a collection of heart muscle cells specialized for electrical conduction that transmits the electrical impulses from the AV node (located between the atria and the ventricles) to the point of the apex of the fascicular branches. The fascicular branches then lead to the Purkinje fibers which innervate the ventricles, causing the cardiac muscle of the ventricles to contract at a paced interval. These specialized muscle fibres in the heart were named after the Swiss cardiologist Wilhelm His, Jr., who discovered them in 1893.
