Bundle of His

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-001540",
  "term": "Bundle of His",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A collection of specialized heart muscle cells that transmits electrical impulses from the atrioventricular (AV) node to the ventricles of the heart. This structure is a key component of the cardiac conduction system, coordinating the contraction of the ventricles to pump blood effectively. Disruption of this pathway by cardiotoxic substances or disease can lead to arrhythmias, such as a heart block, which is a delay or blockage of the electrical signal.",
