Q149 / 200 · NEET 2002 · Zoology
Impulse of heart beat originates from:
- Correct answerASA node
- BAV node
- Cvagus nerve
- Dcardiac nerve
Solution
An electrical stimulus is generated by the sinoatrial node, or SA node. This is a small mass of specialized tissue located in the right atrium of the heart.
Related Theory:-
The AV node gathers the electrical impulse from $S A$ node and, after a brief delay, allows it to pass through to the ventricles. This brief delay in the transmission of the electrical signal through the AV node is critical to a normal heartbeat and the efficient functioning of the heart.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
