What are function of SA nodes?
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).
How are the heart impulses detected?
The Pacemaker cells of the Sinoatrial Node spontaneously initiates the impulse. Without stimulation from nerve fibers or any other outside agents, the nodal cells initiate impulses that spread into the surrounding myocardium and stimulate cardiac muscle fibers to contract.
What is the most important structure of the human heart?
It is supposed to be the sinus node and the conducting tissue. It includes the AV node and bundle of HIS. The sinus node generate the impulse in the heart for contraction. The AV node and bundle of HIS transmits the impulse to the ventricles.
The S-A node which initiates each cardiac cycle and sets the pace for the heart rate is also known as?
isn't it just the sino-atrial node?
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.

What is sinus arrest?
When the Sino-atrial node fails momentarily to initiate an impulse, sinus arrest occurs. When the sino-atrial node fails momentarily to initiate an impulse, sinus arrest occurs.
When the nerve impulse hops from node to node to the axon terminal?
This is called saltatory conduction.
What node triggers and impulse?
The sinoatrial node triggers an impulse
What node triggers the impulse in the heart?
SA node
The SA node triggers an impulse that causes both atria to do what?
SA node sends an impulse for the atria to contract. AV node is then activated which contracts the ventricles.
A heartbeat begins with an impulse from the?
In the Sinoatrial Node
What is the most important structure of the human heart?
It is supposed to be the sinus node and the conducting tissue. It includes the AV node and bundle of HIS. The sinus node generate the impulse in the heart for contraction. The AV node and bundle of HIS transmits the impulse to the ventricles.
Does the AV node initiates the contraction of the atria?
No, the sinoatrial (SA) node initiates contraction of the atria, which subsequently causes stimulation of the AV node, which then initiates contraction of the ventricles via the Purkinje fibers.
What pacemaker of the heart initiates depolarization under normal conditions?
The primary pacemaker of the mammalian heart is the sino-atrial node. If the SA node fails, the atrioventricular node (AV node) takes over pacemaking.
What represents the time it takes for an electrical impulse to travel from the sa node to the av node?
P-R interval
