Heart pumping is primarily caused by the contraction of cardiac muscle cells in response to electrical signals generated by the heart's natural pacemaker, the sinoatrial (SA) node. These signals initiate a coordinated contraction of the heart's chambers, propelling blood through the circulatory system. The heart's structure, including valves and chambers, plays a crucial role in ensuring efficient blood flow during each heartbeat. Additionally, factors such as hormonal regulation and autonomic nervous system inputs can influence heart rate and strength of contractions.
