Which of the following statements is true about the SA (sinoatrial) node?
a. The action potential created by the pacemaker cells of the SA node directly stimulates the contractile cells of both the atria and ventricles.
b. The rate of spontaneous depolarization of nodal cells is the fastest in the SA node.
c. Pacemaker cells in the SA node form a pathway between the SA and AV nodes.
d. The pacemaker cells, which establish the heart rate, are located only in the SA node.
Which of the following is not true for conduction of the cardiac impulse?
A.

C.
Slow propagation requires a slower (sustained) current source (i.e. Ca).
D.
Fast propagation occurs as a result of high intercellular conductance.
