Purkinje Fibers (Fig. 500)."Between the endocardium and the ordinary cardiac muscle are found, imbedded in a small amount of connective tissue, peculiar fibers known as Purkinje fibers.
(AV node) Specialized muscle cells that branch into a network of Purkinje fibers, which conduct electrical stimulation six times faster than other parts of the heart.

atrioventricular (AV) node Tissue in the right ventricle of the heart that receives the impulse from the atria and transmits it through the ventricles by way of the bundles of His and the Purkinje fibers.
