sinoatrial node
Sino-atrial node(SA node), it's also called natural Pacemaker.
which of the following applies to the sinoatrial node? a)it is a mass of nerve cells b)it produces important enzymes c)it generates autorhythmic impulses to the contractthe heart d)it contains both bicuspid and tricuspid valves
A pacemaker is nothing but a specialized mass of muscle tissue present in the wall of the heart. It initiates the heart beat.
The sinoatrial node is impulse generating tissue in the (R) atrium of the heart. It is the natural pacemaker of the heart.

SA node (Sinus Node)
The sinoatrial node is considered the pacemaker of the heart.
The SA node normally functions as the pacemaker for the entire heart because its intrinsic rate is the fastest in the system. From the SA node, impulses spread out over the atria, causing them to contract.
Yes the sinoatrial node is also called the pacemaker under all circumstances
The SA node is the "pacemaker" of the heart. Cells in the SA node are called "pacemaker" cells and they direct the contraction rate of the entire heart by generating action potentials.
sending out signals to make the heart muscles contract.
