What is the main function of the short delay of impulses at the atrioventricular (AV) node?
Correct answer D. It allows the atria to finish contracting before the ventricles contract
Explanation
The AV node slows conduction by about 0.1 s. This gives the atria time to empty blood into the ventricles before ventricular systole begins.
