Solution

The correct option is A True
In the heart, a bundle of nodal fibres arise from the AV node and passes through the atrioventricular 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.
So, the correct option is 'True'.
