There is only one SA(sinoatrial) node. It is located by the right atrium of the heart. it initiates the nerve impulse which travels through both atria to initiate atrial contraction. Then the impulse travels to the AV(atrial ventricular) node. the nerve impulse travels through the intraventricular septum to the apex of the heart, where it initiates the contraction of the ventricles(starting from the apex and squeezing the blood up and out of the arteries).

What is the function of a nodes?
There are a couple of different nodes in the body, and they refer to different things, but since your question is posted under cardiovascular health, you are probably referring to either lymph nodes or the heart's conduction system. Lymph nodes basically act as filters to clean the extracellular fluid before it reenters circulation, and is part of the immune system where white blood cells mature. There are also nodes like the sinoatrial node (SA) and the atrioventricular (AV) node. They are what act as pacemakers for your heart, driving the periodic electrical impulses that cause a heart beat.

What Dø lymph nodes Dø and what is there function?
Lymph nodes are composed of masses of lymphocytes and other cells which serve the function in humans of fighting off foreign bodies including bacteria and viruses. Lymph nodes are a central part of the human immune system. Lymphatic ducts carry lymph fluid into and out of lymph nodes. This is one of the ways that immune cells travel to all parts of the body. Cancers of the lymph nodes are called lymphomas of which the most well known is Hodgkins Disease.
