The sinoatrial node is known as the pacemaker of the heart.
The sinoatrial, or SA, node is known as the pacemaker of the heart. There are other potential pacemakers if the SA node fails, but it is the main pacemaker.
No, the purkinje fiber is not the natural pacemaker. The sinoatrial node (SA node) is the natural pacemaker of the heart.
No, it is the SAN (sinoatrial node)
The Sinoatrial node is the heart's natural pacemaker. An electrical impulse generated in the SA node travels from cell to cell until it reaches the AV node. The AV node is a gate that slows the signal to allowing for contraction and oxygen replenishment.
The heart's "pacemaker" is the SA (sinoatrial) node.
The sinoatrial node is considered the pacemaker of the heart.

The SA Node.
The primary pacemaker of a normal healthy heart is the sinus node (or SA node). It is located in the right atria of the heart.
