Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome cardiac action potential arises in the sinoatrial (SA) node, which is located in the right atrium. From there, the electrical stimulus is transmitted via internodal pathways to the atrioventricular (AV) node. After a brief delay at the AV node, the stimulus travels through the bundle of His to the left and right bundle branches and then to the Purkinje fibers and the endocardium at the apex of the heart, then finally to the ventricular myocardium. The AV node serves an important function as a "gatekeeper", limiting the electrical activity that reaches the ventricles. In situations where the atria generate excessively
Node (Well of Echoes) or node-drainers that drain the node of the field and render anything that draws power from it useless. Mancers who cannot draw from a distat node's field must rely on charged crystals, while clankers, constructs and any other devices of the Art will not work. There are also rare places called anti-nodes, where the Art does not work or is at least greatly reduced. Node (Well of Echoes) Nodes are fictional, naturally occurring phenomena in Ian Irvine’s "The Three Worlds Cycle" of novels. They often occur in places where there is a significant landmark, such as on a hill or
