Detailed explanation-1: -The limbus of the fossa ovalis is located on the medial wall of the right atrium and circumscribes the septum primum of the fossa ovalis anteriorly, posteriorly, and superiorly.
Detailed explanation-2: -The sinoatrial node (SA node) is a specialized myocardial structure that initiates the electrical impulses to stimulate contraction, and is found in the atrial wall at the junction of superior caval vein and the right atrium (Mikawa and Hurtado, 2007).
Detailed explanation-3: -The atria are the heart’s upper chambers. They receive blood from your body and empty it into the ventricles. Your AV node is located in an area known as the triangle of Koch (located between the septal leaflet of the tricuspid valve, the coronary sinus and the membranous portion of the interatrial septum).
