Solution
The correct option is D Myogenic
The myogenic heart has myogenic contractions. Myogenic contraction refers to a contraction initiated by the myocyte cell itself instead of an outside occurrence or stimulus such as nerve innervation. The sino-atrial node (SAN) is a mass of nodal tissue found in the upper part of right auricle. It generates the nerve impulses, which is responsible for starting the contraction of the heart. Vertebrates have a myogenic heart. The SA node has myocytes, known as pacemaker cells, responsible for the generation of impulse which spreads all over the heart and the heart contracts and relaxes.
