Atrioventricular node Atrioventricular node The atrioventricular node, or AV node is a part of the electrical conduction system of the heart that coordinates the top of the heart. It electrically connects the atria and ventricles. The AV node lies at the lower back section of the interatrial septum near the opening of the coronary sinus, which conducts the normal electrical impulse from the atria to the ventricles. The AV node is quite compact (~1 x 3 x 5 mm). The AV node lies at the lower back section of the interatrial septum near the opening of the coronary sinus, which conducts the
Node (physics) eigenstates in the order of increasing energies, formula_1, the eigenfunctions likewise fall in the order of increasing number of nodes; the "n"th eigenfunction has "n−1" nodes, between each of which the following eigenfunctions have at least one node". Node (physics) A node is a point along a standing wave where the wave has minimum amplitude. For instance, in a vibrating guitar string, the ends of the string are nodes. By changing the position of the end node through frets, the guitarist changes the effective length of the vibrating string and thereby the note played. The opposite of a node is
