Depends on level of heart block. It can interrupt/block signal from sinus node to av node. If 3rd degree block the sinus node and av node beat asynchronously. This requires a pacemaker.

The seventh heart we still cannot find. Hope this helps. Update: The final heart is on the race car on block #7. Look on the front part of the car between the two front wheels.


How does movement of electrical impulse relate to the contraction of the chambers of the heart?

The impulse shocks the left and right atria of the heart. This pumps blood into the left and right ventricle. The ventricles then receive the impulse and pump the blood. The movement of the electrical impulse allows the blood to move through multiple areas of the heart with only one impulse.


Is Human heart is myogenic or neurogenic?

In the human heart, contraction is initiated by a special modified heart muscle known as sinoatrial node. It is located in the right atrium. The SA node has the inherent power of generating a wave of contraction and controlling the heart beat. Hence, it is known as the pacemaker. Since the heart beat is initiated by the SA node and the impulse of contraction originates in the heart itself, the human heart is termed myogenic. The hearts of vertebrates and molluscs are also myogenic.
