Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The sinus node continuously generates electrical impulses, thereby setting the normal rhythm and rate in a healthy heart. Hence, the SA node is referred to as the natural pacemaker of the heart.
Detailed explanation-2: -An electrical stimulus is generated by the sinus node (also called the sinoatrial node, or SA node). This is a small mass of specialized tissue located in the right upper chamber (atria) of the heart.
Detailed explanation-3: -The delay in conduction of impulse in this node changes the duration of contraction between the atria and the ventricles. Hence AV node is called as the pace-setter.
Detailed explanation-4: -Sino atrial node is called the pacemaker of our heart.
