The Bundle of His transmits impulses to the ventricles via which structures?

The Bundle of His acts as the main conduit from the AV node into the ventricles, splitting into the right and left bundle branches in the interventricular septum. Those branches connect with Purkinje fibers, which rapidly distribute the impulse to all ventricular muscle, producing coordinated contraction. The SA node and AV node initiate and regulate timing upstream, but the actual ventricular activation travels through the bundle branches and Purkinje network, making this pathway the correct mechanism.
