Which is the normal pacemaker of the heart? A) AV junction B) SA node C) AV node D) ventricle Cardiac Pacemaker Cells: The heart is primarily made up of cardiac myocytes but there exists a small population of cells called cardiac pacemaker cells. These...
The SA node is the heart's electrical pacemaker. It is a small patch of cells located in the wall of the right atrium; the frequency with which the SA node discharges determines the rate at which the heart beats. The current passes from the SA node, through the special tissues of the ...
The normal heart rhythm, known as sinus rhythm, originates in specialized cardiac cells, called pacemaker cells, in the sino-atrial (SA) or sinus node and has been defined as a sinus node rate of 60 to 100 beats/minute. Each heart beat or contraction is initiated by generation of an ...
The T wave represents the return to normal of the specialized muscle fibers, that make up the pacemaker, which spreads the electrical signal throughout the ventricles. The interval between the onset of the P wave and the onset of the QRS is called the PR interval, which usually does not ...
Human heart rate is moderated by the autonomous nervous system acting predominantly through the sinus node (the main cardiac physiological pacemaker). One of the dominant factors that determine the heart rate in physiological conditions is its coupling with the respiratory rhythm. Using the language of...

Cell models are biophysically detailed, and are based on the kinetic equations developed by Noble et al. ...
Normal sinus rhythm is when your heart beats in a regular, organized way. Your body has a built-in pacemaker called the sinoatrial (SA) node, or sinus node. It uses electrical signals to make sure that the different chambers of your heart are contracting together at a steady pace. This ...
(0.08-0.12 seconds) Sample: Sinus Bradycardia Rhythm: Regular Rate: Slow (<60 bpm) P Waves: “Normal” and upright, one for each QRS PR Interval: “Normal” (0.12-0.20 seconds) QRS Complex: “Normal” (0.08-0.12 seconds) Results from a slowing of the pacemaker rate of the SA node. ...
Which is the normal pacemaker of the heart? A) AV junction B) SA node C) AV node D) ventricle What are the common pathologic causes of sinus bradycardia? In sinus tachycardia, the heart rate is between and ___ and ___ beats per minute. Fill in th...
Modern medicine emphasizes the concept of homeostasis, constancy of the intern milieu. Accordingly, it is assumed that biological functions and processes are relatively stable during the 24 h and other time periods and that the exacerbation of disease an
