Purkinje fibers? are specialized, non-contracting, cardiac muscle cells conduct impulses more slowly than other parts of the conduction system conduct action potentials along special pathways through the atria none of the above

• none of the above

Explanation:

Purkinje fibers are myocardial conductive fibers that spread impulse to the myocardial contractile cells in the ventricles and not the atria. These fibers have the ability to transmit an impulse to the ventricles at a very high rate. Both contraction and conduction begins at the apex, travelling towards the heart base. Purkinje fibers carry the contraction impulse from left to right and though contract less than atrial or ventricular muscle.
