each ventricle is closed by either the tricuspid or bicuspid. The cordae tendineae are pulled by papillary muscles that gain stimulus from the purkinje fibers.
Purkinje fibers are connected to the atrioventricular bundle. The AV node is located in the Right atrium, which is triggered by the sinoatrial node, or the pace maker. the AV dives down the interventricular septum, which splits off into two branches, then goes back up the heart wall at the apex.
