Hi Anjana,
In the heart, a bundle of nodal fibres arise from the AVN and passes through the atrio-ventricular septa to reach the inter-ventricular septum. There, it divides immediately into right and left bundles. From these branches, minute fibres arise throughout the ventricular musculature. These fibres are called Purkinje fibres.
High blood pressure or hypertension is caused if the blood pressure of an individual comes out to be equal to or more than 140/90 (normal blood pressure equals 120/80). It affects heart, kidneys, brain, and other vital organs.
Low blood pressure or hypotension is caused if the blood pressure of an individual comes out to be equal to or more than 90/60. It causes dizziness and fainting.
Hope you got the answer,
Cheers!
