The "nodes" in the heart are the sinoatrial, or SA, node, which is found in the R atrium and is considered the primary pacemaker of the heart. The atrioventricular node, or AV node, is located in the right atrium just above the medial leaflet of the tricuspid valve. It allows for the electrical impulses generated in the atrium to be transmitted to the ventricles and to cause ventricular contraction.

What is another name for SA nodes of the heart?
Sino atrial node
What does the heart have that make sures the heart is beating at the right speed?

What is the function of a nodes?
There are a couple of different nodes in the body, and they refer to different things, but since your question is posted under cardiovascular health, you are probably referring to either lymph nodes or the heart's conduction system. Lymph nodes basically act as filters to clean the extracellular fluid before it reenters circulation, and is part of the immune system where white blood cells mature. There are also nodes like the sinoatrial node (SA) and the atrioventricular (AV) node. They are what act as pacemakers for your heart, driving the periodic electrical impulses that cause a heart beat.
What if neither SA Node or the AV Node of the heart work?
If neither of the nodes work then the heart will be unable to contract its muscles to pump blood.
