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).
Why are your heart cells full of mitochondria?
Heart cells have a high demand for energy to sustain constant contraction. As a result, they have a larger number of mitochondria compared to other cell types. Mitochondria are responsible for generating the majority of cellular energy through aerobic respiration, producing the ATP needed for muscle contraction. The abundance of mitochondria in heart cells allows for efficient energy production and helps meet the energy requirements of the heart muscle.
What happens if stroke volume increases?
If stroke volume increases, more blood is pumped out of the heart with each contraction. This results in an increase in cardiac output, which is the amount of blood pumped by the heart in one minute. An increase in stroke volume can also lead to a drop in heart rate to maintain overall cardiac output.
What is the name given to contraction phase of the cardiac cycle?
The contraction phase of the cardiac cycle is called systole. This is when the heart muscle contracts to pump blood out of the heart and into the circulatory system.
How many times does a budgie's heart beat per minute?
A budgie's heart beats around 275-400 times per minute at rest.
Where are the cells that initiate the stimulus for contraction of the heart muscle located?
SA node
The cell that initiate the stimulus for contraction of the heart muscles are located in the?
The SA Node in the right atrium
The time taken for one contraction relaxation of heart is 0.8 seconds then how many times does the heart beat per minute?
75 times

What is the difference between stroke volume and cardiac output?
Cardiac output is the blood volume pushed out by the left ventricle per minute. Stroke volume is the volume of blood pushed out of the left ventricle per contraction of the heart (each heart beat). So stroke volume into heart rate / minute gives you cardiac output.
What causes rhythmic beating of the heart?
When blood and air is tranferred into the heart, the heart has to start beating unless we are dead.The rhythmic beating of the heart is maintained by the Sinoatrial node (80-100 beats/minute), the Atrioventricular node (40-60 beats/minute) or the Purkinje fibers (20-40 beats/minute). It involves the membrane potential of specialized myocardial cells in these parts. Once regions of the heart are fully depolarized (such as the ventricles), contraction follows. Immediately following depolarization comes repolarization, and thus the cycle can repeat itself.How_is_the_rhythmic_beating_of_the_heart_maintained
What pacemaker cells generates impulses of approximately 75 depolarizations per minute in order to control the heart's contraction rate?
Sinoatrial (SA) node
Where is sinatorial node located?
The sinoatrial (SA) node is located in the right atrium of the heart, near the entrance of the superior vena cava. It serves as the heart's natural pacemaker, generating electrical impulses that initiate the heartbeat and regulate the heart's rhythm. The SA node is crucial for coordinating the contraction of the heart muscles.
How does movement of electrical impulse relate to the contraction of the chambers of the heart?
The movement of electrical impulses in the heart coordinates the contraction of its chambers. The impulses initiate the contraction by stimulating the muscle cells, causing them to contract in a coordinated way. This results in the rhythmic pumping action that drives blood flow through the heart and to the rest of the body.
What is the scientific name for the contraction of the heart?
The scientific term for the contraction of the heart is "systole." This is when the heart muscle contracts to pump blood out of the heart's chambers and into the circulatory system.
Where does heart contraction begin?
The area in the heart where contraction begins is a question given by ma'am Luvim Bilango. haha..
What is the contraction of the heart chambers in a regular cycle called?
The contraction of the heart chambers in a regular cycle is called systole
