SAN initiates WOE
WOE passes over both atria
WOE causes atria to contract
blood pumped from atria to ventricles
atria relax
non-conductive tissue stops electrical impulse
AVN delays wave to allow atria to contract
WOE passed from AVN to bundle of his to purkyne fibres - highly conductive
WOE passed from purkyne fibres to ventricles
WOE causes ventricles to contract
higher pressure in ventricles causes AV valve to close
blood pumped out of ventricles into arteries
ventricles relax
higher arterial pressure causes SL valve to close
