Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which component of the heart is responsible for initiating the electrical impulse?
  • Step 1: Understand that the heart has a special part that controls its beating.
  • Step 2: Learn that this special part is called the sinoatrial node, often shortened to SA node.
  • Step 3: Know that the SA node is located in the right atrium of the heart.
