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.

An experiment was performed on a pithed frog. After recording the normal heartbeats (normal cardiogram or sinus rhythm), a ligature (ie. tying) is applied between the sinus venosus and right auricle. (Sinus venosus is the pacemaker in amphibian heart). It is the first ligature (I ligature). After a while, a second ligature is applied between auricles and ventricle (II ligature). The heart rates record is shown below. What can we learn from this experiment about the rhythmicity of our cardiac muscle? List THREE points.
