The impulses leap across synapse-like connections between the cells called gap junctions, and continue down the conduction system until they reach the atrioventricular node, or AV node, located just above the tricuspid valve.

这些脉冲跨越细胞之间称为间隙连接的突触状连接，并沿着传导系统继续前进，直到它们到达位于三尖瓣正上方的房室结或房室结。

It's then delayed just slightly as it goes through the atrioventricular or AV node, before it passes through the Bundle of His and to the Purkinje fibers of the left and right ventricles, causing them to contract as well.

之后，它在通过房室结时发生了短暂的延搁，而后通过房室束以及左右室的浦肯野纤维，使左右心室收缩。
