The bundle of the His branches, branches into the right anterior-superior, left anterior-superior and the left posterior-inferior bundle branches that run along inter ventricular septum. The atria and the ventricles are functionally linked only by the AV node and the conduction…

atria contracts. This happens right before exited to the AV bundle. The delay happens because of a small diameter of fibers that have very little amount of gap junctions (Marieb, Mitchell, Smith, 2013, pg. 458). AV Bundle, Bundle of His The only electrical connection between the atria and the ventricle. It allows the action potential to move from the interatrial septum to the interventricular septum, connecting the AV node to the Bundle Branches (Marieb, Mitchell, Smith, 2013, pg.…

δ13C is a comparison between the ratio of carbon 13 and carbon 12 of the object of interest compared to a standard. The cause of the -20‰ of δ13C in the maple syrup is no cause for concern. The reason -20‰ of δ13C may have been a cause for concern is because there are some sugarwoods that will adulterate their maple syrup with corn syrup or cane sugar. Corn syrup, as well as cane sugar, have a higher δ13C content than maple syrup. Typically corn syrup and cane sugar have between -9‰ to -12‰…
