The heart's pacemaker, known as the sinoatrial (SA) node, is a cluster of cells located in the right atrium. It generates electrical impulses that initiate each heartbeat, regulating the heart's rhythm and rate. The SA node responds to the body's needs, adjusting the heart rate during activities such as exercise or rest. This natural pacemaker ensures coordinated contractions of the heart muscle, promoting efficient blood circulation throughout the body.

Are the purjinke fibers the hearts pacemaker?
SA node (sinoatrial) is primary pacemaker, SV node (sinoventricular) is secondary. Purkinje fibers are the very last pacemaker on the list. If a heart gets down to firing on that it, the person is just about dead and needs IMMEDIATE medical attention. Its max rate per minute is 30. A normal heart rate is b/n 60-100 beats per minute.
