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.
