A region in the upper left hand corner of the heart is considered the pacemaker. Those cells exhibit autorhythmicity. That means these cells have the ability to initiate their won action potential and the heart can beat on its own. The endocrine and autonomic nervous system can influence the rate but the heart controls its own beat.
