What does the heart have that make sures the heart is beating at the right speed?
the SA and AV nodes in the heart produce electrical impulses that cause the heart muscle to contract or "beat", these nodes are controlled by the medulla and pons in the brain stem Excuse me but put it in a way that a 5th grader could understand. Thx
How the human heart is timed?
The rhythmic sequence of contractions is coordinated by the sinoatrial (SA) and atrioventricular (AV) nodes.
What are the names of the heart nodes?
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.
Does the AV node control the heart rate?
Only if the SA Node isn't firing or there is some form of heart block. IIRC, under typical conditions, the SA node fires at 60-70 bpm. If that doesn't happen, or the electrical pathway between the two nodes is broken, the AV node will automatically fire at 50-60 bpm. If that doesn't happen, the ventricles themselves will fire at ~40 bpm. The logic of this system is that each of these nodes will fire on their own, so it is difficult to completely paralyze the heart. At 60 bpm the SA node sends one signal per second, at 50 bpm the AV node waits 1.2 seconds before automatically firing, and at 40 bpm the ventricles wait 1.5 seconds. Because the SA node is fastest, it is usually what paces the rest of the heart. In other words, the AV is a backup pacemaker (among other things).
What is order for intrinsic conduction system in starting from the sa node?
sa nodes - av bundle- left bundle branches- purkinje fibers . hope this helps
Another name for the heart's pacemaker is the?
The sinoatrial node (SA)
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.
What is the treatment when the AV and SA nodes fail?
The remedy for failure of the SA and AV nodes is a pacemaker.

What is the cardioacceleratory center?
innervates SA and AV nodes, heart muscle, and coranary arteries through parasympathetic fibers in the vagus nerves

What is a s.a.node?
The sinoatrial node is the impulse-generating pacemaker of the heart located in the right atrium of the heart. In other words - it makes your heart beat.Note that if the SA node fails for some reason, other nodes are ready to take over
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.
