vagus nerve
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).
The Pacemaker cells of the Sinoatrial Node spontaneously initiates the impulse. Without stimulation from nerve fibers or any other outside agents, the nodal cells initiate impulses that spread into the surrounding myocardium and stimulate cardiac muscle fibers to contract.
No, nerve impulses travel down the internodal pathways towards the AV node, not from it. The internodal pathways conduct the impulse from the SA node to the AV node, assisting in the synchronization of the heart's electrical activity.
Myelinated nerve fibers transmit nerve impulses at the highest rate due to the presence of insulation provided by the myelin sheath. This insulation helps the nerve impulse jump quickly from one node of Ranvier to the next, allowing for rapid transmission.
It is supposed to be the sinus node and the conducting tissue. It includes the AV node and bundle of HIS. The sinus node generate the impulse in the heart for contraction. The AV node and bundle of HIS transmits the impulse to the ventricles.

The Pacemaker cells of the Sinoatrial Node spontaneously initiates the impulse. Without stimulation from nerve fibers or any other outside agents, the nodal cells initiate impulses that spread into the surrounding myocardium and stimulate cardiac muscle fibers to contract.
When the Sino-atrial node fails momentarily to initiate an impulse, sinus arrest occurs. When the sino-atrial node fails momentarily to initiate an impulse, sinus arrest occurs.
This is called saltatory conduction.

The sinoatrial node triggers an impulse
Myelinated nerve fibers transmit nerve impulses at the highest rate due to the presence of insulation provided by the myelin sheath. This insulation helps the nerve impulse jump quickly from one node of Ranvier to the next, allowing for rapid transmission.
SA node
The electrical impulse that regulates the heartbeat is sent by the heart's natural pacemaker, known as the sinoatrial (SA) node. This node is located in the right atrium of the heart and initiates the electrical signal that causes the heart muscle to contract and pump blood.
SA node sends an impulse for the atria to contract. AV node is then activated which contracts the ventricles.
In the Sinoatrial Node
It is supposed to be the sinus node and the conducting tissue. It includes the AV node and bundle of HIS. The sinus node generate the impulse in the heart for contraction. The AV node and bundle of HIS transmits the impulse to the ventricles.
