Question #3
The 'Bundle of His' and 'Purkinje fibers' are specialized structures found in the:
A. Kidneys
B. Heart
C. Brain
D. Lungs

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The Bundle of His and Purkinje fibers are part of the electrical conduction system of the heart. The Bundle of His carries the electrical impulse from the atrioventricular (AV) node down the interventricular septum. It then divides into right and left bundle branches, which terminate in the Purkinje fibers. These fibers rapidly distribute the impulse throughout the ventricular myocardium, ensuring coordinated ventricular contraction.
