A) The AV node offers a two-way conduction area between the atria and the ventricles. B) The velocity of conduction through the AV junctional fibers is very fast, which greatly increases impulse transmission. C) A block at the AV bundle of His interferes with the normal delay of the impulse, thereby interfering with complete ejection of blood from the atria prior to ventricular contraction. D) When there is an AV block, impulses from the atria and ventricles beat independently of each other so, the heart rhythm is usually chaotic and not regular.
