What are function of SA nodes?
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 are the heart impulses detected?
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.
Do nerve impulses travel down the internodal pathways from the av node?
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.
What transmits a nerve impulse at the highest rate?
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.
What is the most important structure of the human heart?
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.

What is sinus arrest?
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.
When the nerve impulse hops from node to node to the axon terminal?
This is called saltatory conduction.
Do nerve impulses travel down the internodal pathways from the av node?
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.
What node triggers and impulse?
The sinoatrial node triggers an impulse
The condition where an impulse jumps from node to node?
The condition where an impulse jumps from node to node is known as saltatory conduction. This occurs in myelinated neurons, where the myelin sheath insulates the axon, allowing the electrical impulse to skip over the insulated segments and only propagate at the nodes of Ranvier. This process significantly increases the speed of nerve signal transmission compared to unmyelinated fibers.
What transmits a nerve impulse at the highest rate?
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.
What sends an electrical impulse that regulates the heartbeat?
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.
What node triggers the impulse in the heart?
SA node
Is the heart contracting sequence purkinje fiberssa nodesa nodeav bundle?
The heart's contraction sequence starts with the sinoatrial (SA) node, which initiates the electrical impulse that causes the atria to contract. This impulse then travels to the atrioventricular (AV) node, where it is briefly delayed before moving to the AV bundle (Bundle of His). From there, the impulse spreads through the right and left bundle branches and into the Purkinje fibers, leading to the contraction of the ventricles. Thus, the correct sequence is SA node, AV node, AV bundle, and then Purkinje fibers.
The SA node triggers an impulse that causes both atria to do what?
SA node sends an impulse for the atria to contract. AV node is then activated which contracts the ventricles.
