A) spread of the action potential throughout the large ventricular mass to ensure a single, coordinated contraction of the ventricles.
B) spread the action potential in the absence of sympathetic stimulation.
C) set the heart rate.
D) spread the action potential throughout the atria and ventricles.
E) slow down the original action potential so it has time to spread throughout the large ventricular mass.
