Explain the reason there is a delay in processing the electrical signal from the AV node to the AV bundle. To:

1. allow the atria to complete their contraction prior to ventricular contraction
2. ensure the right and left atria contract at the same time
3. ensure the right and left ventricles contract at the same time
4 prevent an ectopic pacemaker

Doctors use a stethoscope to hear the sounds produced during each cardiac cycle. The

second sound is heard when

2. Ventricular walls vibrate due to gushing in of blood from atria

3. Semilunar valves close down after the blood flows into vessels from ventricles

4. AV node receives the signal from SA node
