The AV bundle is also known as?

Explanation:
The AV bundle is the Bundle of His. This structure serves as the main conduit between the atrioventricular (AV) node and the ventricular conduction system. After the impulse reaches the AV node, it travels into the AV bundle, which penetrates the fibrous skeleton of the heart and divides into the left and right bundle branches that run down the interventricular septum to distribute the signal to the ventricles via the Purkinje fibers. Distinct from the AV node (the site of the brief delay) and from Purkinje fibers (the terminal conducting network), and also distinct from the Sinoatrial node (the natural pacemaker), the AV bundle specifically refers to this bundle of His.
