    Prepared by: Ms. Ana Antoniette C. Illahi 1 Conductionconduction (or heat conduction) is the transfer of thermal energy between regions of matter due to a temperature gradient. Heat spontaneously flows from a region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature‚ and reduces temperature differences over time‚ approaching thermal equilibrium.

    outer protective layer of the heart. * Myocardium - muscular middle layer wall of the heart. * Endocardium - inner layer of the heart that is continuous with the inner lining of blood  * Cardiac Conduction * Cardiac conduction is the rate at which the heart conducts electrical impulses. Cardiac muscle cells contract spontaneously and are coordinated by nodal tissue‚ specifically the sinoatrial node. There are other factors that influence heart rate as well. These include endocrine hormones

    Thermal Conductivity

    • 2 Pages

    Thermal Conductivity Heat can be transferred in three different ways: convection‚ radiation and conduction. Conduction is the way heat is transferred in a solid‚ and therefore is the way it is transferred in a heat sink. Conduction occurs when two objects with different temperatures come into contact with one another. At the point where the two objects meet‚ the faster moving molecules of the warmer object crash into the slower moving molecules of the cooler object. When this happens‚ the faster
