There is only one SA(sinoatrial) node. It is located by the right atrium of the heart. it initiates the nerve impulse which travels through both atria to initiate atrial contraction. Then the impulse travels to the AV(atrial ventricular) node. the nerve impulse travels through the intraventricular septum to the apex of the heart, where it initiates the contraction of the ventricles(starting from the apex and squeezing the blood up and out of the arteries).

How many radial nodes does the wave function of a hydrogen atom in the 3d orbital have?

The wave function of a hydrogen atom in the 3d orbital has two radial nodes.


How can one determine the number of radial nodes in a given wave function?

To determine the number of radial nodes in a wave function, count the number of regions where the probability of finding the particle is zero between the nucleus and the outermost electron shell. This number corresponds to the number of radial nodes in the wave function.

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.
