Question 17 • 2026-2027 EDGE Human Anatomy and Physiology B

What is the bundle of His?

Answer
A
a collection of heart muscle components that specialize in preventing the backward flow of blood
B
a collection of valves used for electrical conduction that allow the blood vessels to contract
C
a collection of heart muscle components specializing in electrical conduction that allow the ventricles to contract
D
a collection of chambers specialized for electrical conduction that allow the ventricles to expand

Explanation

The bundle of His is part of the heart’s electrical conduction system. It carries electrical impulses from the atrioventricular node toward the ventricles, triggering them to contract. Therefore, choice C is correct: it describes heart muscle components specialized for electrical conduction that allow the ventricles to contract.
