Electrical conduction system of the heart Electrical conduction system of the heart The electrical conduction system of the heart transmits signals generated usually by the sinoatrial node to cause contraction of the heart muscle. The pacemaking signal generated in the sinoatrial node travels through the right atrium to the atrioventricular node, along the Bundle of His and through bundle branches to cause contraction of the heart muscle. This signal stimulates contraction first of the right and left atrium, and then the right and left ventricles. This process allows blood to be pumped throughout the body. The conduction system consists of specialised heart muscle cells, and is
Sentinel node list, can be simplified remarkably using a sentinel node to demarcate the beginning and end of the list. Following is a Python implementation of a circular doubly-linked list: Notice how the codice_13 method takes the node that will be displaced by the new node in the parameter codice_14. For appending to the left, this is the head of a non-empty list, while for appending to right, it is the tail. But because of how the linkage is setup to refer back to the sentinel, the code just works for empty lists as well, where codice_14 will be the sentinel node.
