Detailed explanation-1: -They produce roughly 60–100 action potentials every minute. The action potential passes along the cell membrane causing the cell to contract, therefore the activity of the sinoatrial node results in a resting heart rate of roughly 60–100 beats per minute.
Detailed explanation-2: -At rest, the SA nodal myocytes depolarize at an intrinsic rate between 60 and 100 beats per minute, which is generally considered a normal heart rate.
Detailed explanation-3: -SA node pacemaker cells depolarize at a rate of 60 to 100 per minute, while the AV node at 40 to 60 per minute. The pacemaker with the highest rate of depolarization takes over as the primary pacemaker. In healthy individuals, this is the SA node.
Detailed explanation-4: -Abstract. The cell of the sinoatrial (SA) node have a resting potential of-30 to-50 mV.
