Where are the cells that make up the sinoatrial node or pacemarker located?

The cells that make up the sinoatrial (SA) node, which acts as the heart's natural pacemaker, are located in the right atrium of the heart. The SA node generates electrical impulses that initiate each heartbeat by causing the heart muscle to contract.


The point on a stem to which a leaf or bud is attached is termed the?

the node, leaves are attached to the node by the petiole


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.


How long does the AV node delay the signal from the SA node?

The AV node typically delays the signal from the SA node by about 0.1 to 0.2 seconds. This delay allows time for the atria to contract and fill the ventricles with blood before the signal is transmitted to the ventricles.


SA node versus AV node?

1) Sino-atrial node is master node and atrio-ventricular node is on the path from SA node to impulse to ventricles. 2) SA node has intrinsic rhythme rate of about 72 beats/ minute and AV has intrinsic rhythme rate of about 50 beats per minute. 3) SA node has autonomic ( sympathetic and parasympathetic ) nerve supply and AV node do not have any such supply. 4) SA node regulates the heart rate and AV node slows down the conduction across the path, so that atria gets time to contract, to be fallowed by contraction of ventricles. 5) Disease of the SA node generally leads to sick sinus syndrome. Disease of the AV node generally leads to atrioventricular block.

What areas of the cardiac conduction system make up the AV junction?

The AV junction consists of the atrioventricular node (AV node) and the His-Purkinje system. The AV node is located near the tricuspid valve and acts as a gateway for electrical signals from the atria to the ventricles. The His-Purkinje system helps to rapidly transmit these signals to the ventricles, allowing for coordinated contraction of the heart chambers.

What is responsible for initiating the heart beat?

The hearts electrical activity starts with the sino-atrial node in the right atrium, which sends its impulse to the rest of the heart causing contraction. However it the SA node fails there are still two backups, the AV Junction, and the purkinje fibers, however they are not able to send out impulses as fast and the contractions aren't as efficient.

The pacemaker of the entire myocardium is the: a) Atrioventricular junction b) bundle of his c) Purkinje fibers d) Sinoatrial node


What is the inherent rate of AV junction?

It is a built-in rate at which it initiates electical impulses, meaning that the AV node has a rate range at which it usually produces impulses.
