Are the purjinke fibers the hearts pacemaker?
SA node (sinoatrial) is primary pacemaker, SV node (sinoventricular) is secondary. Purkinje fibers are the very last pacemaker on the list. If a heart gets down to firing on that it, the person is just about dead and needs IMMEDIATE medical attention. Its max rate per minute is 30. A normal heart rate is b/n 60-100 beats per minute.

What is the main pace maker of the heart?
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.
What are electrocardiograms taken for?
Electrocardiograms are taken when doctors need to check on the hearts rhythm, and the conduction of the heart beat which might be caused by a underlying heart disease.
Why does the heart have the Bundle of His and the Purkinje fibers?
The bundle of His and the Purkinje fibres are part of the conduction system of the heart. In order to pump blood around the body, the heart muscle must contract (atria first to fill the ventricles, then ventricles contract to send the blood around the body.) The conduction system starts in the sinoatrial node (SA node) which is also known as the hearts natural pacemaker and is located at the top of the right atrium. The impulse is then sent to the atrioventricular node (AV node) located by the junction between the atria and ventricles. The next part of the conduction system is the bundle of His which sends the impulse from the atria to the ventricles. The purkinje fibres then spread through the ventricles. As the impulse passes through each part of the conduction system, that part of the heart is excited and the heart muscle contracts, which gives the pumping action of the heart.
How many Kingdom Hearts games is roxas in?
Roxas is considered to be in 2 of the Kingdom Hearts games. He is the main character in the beginning of Kingdom Hearts 2 and then he is the character you play as in Story Mode in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 days.
What is the function of your natural pacemaker?
The contraction of heart (cardiac) muscle in all animals with hearts is initiated by chemical impulses. The rate at which these impulses fire controls the heart rate. The cells that create these rhythmical impulses are called pacemaker cells, and they directly control the heart rate.

Advantages of the artificial pacemaker?
The disadvantages is When sudden changes in heartbeat do take place in persons with normal hearts, they often experience symptoms as an aching in the heart area or a feeling of weakness.Yes the pace maker can be replaced but also the permanent infixation of an artificial pacemaker can restore a reliable heartbeat.The recovery time is normally shorter than that for the open procedure.With the cost it depends but you should have an insurance to go with it.
