Solution
The correct option is A SA node
- Pacemaker serves to produce rhythmic impulses for the heartbeat.
- The sinoatrial node (SA) node serves as a pacemaker and is a small mass of specialized cardiac muscle. It is present in the posterior wall of the right atrium near the opening of the superior vena cava.
- When the natural pacemaker is defective, the heartbeat may be too fast, too slow or irregular.
- Artificial pacemakers are electronic devices that stimulate the heart with electrical impulses to maintain or restore a normal rhythm in people with irregular heart rhythms.
- An artificial pacemaker provides an electrical impulse (discharge) that can stimulate the heart, thus restoring or maintaining a regular heartbeat.
So, the correct answer is option A.
