The pacemaker is only used during a procedure that places an artificial pacemaker in your chest to make your heart beat regular. That is only when the person's heart is having irregular heart beats.
People with regular heartbeats with no artificial pacemaker....the way that the heartbeat is regular is through The SA node (sinoatrial). It is a group of cells that is located in the right atrium and sets the pace for the heart, increasing and decreasing when it is needed.

What is a group of cells located in the right atrium that send out signals that you make the heart muscle contract or beat?
The sinoatrial node, or SA node. This group of cells initiate the electrical impulse through the heart in a normal heart rhythm, also called a normal sinus rhythm. Impulses can begin in other areas of the heart, but this typically causes an irregular heart beat.
Why does your heart beat faster when you're nervous?
This is part of a stress response where neurons (nerve cells) that sit right over the heart release a neurotransmitter (a chemical) called noradrenaline (AKA norepinephrine), this stimulates the heart to beat faster and with more power.
What do heart muscle cells look like?
The cells of heart muscle are striated (like stripes on a tie) as is skeletal muscle. Cardiac muscle is a type of involuntary striated muscle found only in the walls of the heart. They can contract but also carry an action potential (i.e. conduct electricity), like the neurons that constitute nerves. Some of the cells have the ability to generate an action potential, known as cardiac muscle automaticity. That is they beat on their own and in union with each other.
What role does the unique structure of cardiac muscle play in its function?
Cardiac muscle has what is known as intercalated disks. These connect heart muscle cells to each other, which allows an impulse (contraction) to move through the heart synchronously and therefore beat as it should.
What cell forms from sexual reproduction?

What sends electric currents to the heart causing it to beat at a steady pace?
The "cardiac pacemaker," a group of cells in the sinoatrial node of the right atrium of the heart, which generate regular electrical impulses causing the heart to beat. The rate of contraction is regulated up or down by nerve fibers originating from elsewhere in the body.
Which tissue type connects the brain to the heart and tells the heart when to beat?
There is no such tissue, the heart can beat automatically, without an external stimulus, it has several groups of automatic cells that discharge electricity currents that make the muscle cells in the heart beat sinchronically. Also, this automatic beat can be slowed down or can be made quicker by influences of autonomous nervous system, but remember, it can work by itself. It is called an involuntary muscle.
What controls the rate and rhythm of the heart beat?
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.
What illnesses are there relating to your heart?
Infection, vascular insufficiency, failure (of the muscle cells to do work), and errors in the timing of the heart beat.
Where are the cells that make up the pacemaker?
Those cells are nerve cells, the brain sends electrical pulses down and the electricity causes the heart to beat.
What initiates the heartbeat?
By generating electrical impulses.By: isamarThe individual cells in a heart actually can beat on their own without any nervous stimulus. However, the cells have to beat together to have a heart that functions the right way. There is a conduction system in the heart made of specialized heart cells that make the rhythm. There are two main "nodes" called the SA node and AV node. The SA node starts the beat. The AV node is a sort of back up for the SA node. There are other special heart cells that made up of special fibers that transmits the signal through out the walls of the heart.

What is cardiac tissue made up of?
Cardiac tissue is made of cardiac muscle cells and a small amount of connective tissue. The cells that make this tissue are called cardiocytes. They have the special ability to "beat" on their own with no nerve stimulation. If one touches another beating cell, they will begin to beat together. In the heart some group will form a pacemaker to provide a rhythm for the organ.
How many sex cells are men born with?
men are born with no sex cells. they start producing is when they hit puberty and at each heart beat start producing 1,000 sex cells!!
Can you feel a heart beat at 8 weeks?
You will not be able to feel a heart beat, but a heart beat can be detected. Usually at around 5 weeks a heart beat can be heard.
