Detailed explanation-2: -The sinuatrial node, which is responsible for regulating the automaticity of the myocardium, is located in the posterior wall of the right atrium. More specifically, it is inferolateral to the opening of the superior vena cava, along the superior part of the crista terminalis.

Detailed explanation-3: -The heart has four chambers: two atria and two ventricles. The right atrium receives oxygen-poor blood from the body and pumps it to the right ventricle.
