How the human heart is timed?
The rhythmic sequence of contractions is coordinated by the sinoatrial (SA) and atrioventricular (AV) nodes.
Sensitive tissue in the right atrium that begins the heartbeat?
Pacemaker (sinoatrial node)
Which of the following heart structures is self exciting tissue?
sinoatrial node of the heart.
What is a small mass of tissue that is made up of Purkinje fibers?
sinoatrial node
What is the sinoatrial node?
The sinoatrial node and the atrioventricular node controls the Cardiac Cycle- The Sinoatrial node is often called the Pace maker.The sinoatrial node is located in the wall of the right atrium. The Sinoatrial node emits a wave of electrical activity which reaches both Atria which causes them to contract, the wave of electrical activity is prevented from reaching the ventricles by the atrioventricular septum.Eventually the electrical activity will reach the Atrioventricular node which is situated between the atria.The Atrioventricular node conveys this along specialised muscle fibres called The Bundle of His.The bundle of his fibres release this electrical activity at the apex of the heart which causes both ventricles to contract at the same time.
What two nerves affect the rate of the heartbeat how are they affected?
sinoatrial node
What first causes the sinoatrial node to begin in a fetus' heart?
The sinoatrial node is a part of the electrical system of the heart. The development of the sinoatrial node is from the sinus horn myocardium in fetal development.
The node that directly controls contraction of the atria is?
Sinoatrial node
What node triggers and impulse?
The sinoatrial node triggers an impulse
Is AV NODE known as pacemaker?
No, it is the SAN (sinoatrial node)
The sinoatrial node is the heart's?
... pacemaker.
What is the peacemaker of the myocardium?
sinoatrial node
A heartbeat begins with an impulse from the?
In the Sinoatrial Node
Is sinoatrial node called a pacemaker?
yes
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 conducting cells set heart rate?
Sinoatrial Node (SA node)
What does the sinoatrial node do when body temperature is increased?
Known as the "pacemaker of the heart," the sinoatrial node would most likely speed up if the body temperature were to rise.
