Question
Chapter 33, Problem 6RQ
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The sequence of events that causes the mammalian heart to beat, including the names of structures involved.
Introduction:
The heart’s pacemaker that generates impulses is present in right atria. Heart’s pacemaker is a tissue which is also known as sinoatrial node and is responsible for the normal beating of the heart. The pacemaker’s tissue comprises of cells termed as cardiomyocytes.
