Solution

The correct option is B False
The heart is entirely made up of cardiac muscles. Muscle cells are also called myocytes. The control of the heart function is by a set of muscles or special node of the modified heart muscle, the sinoatrial node (SAN) located in the atria, so the heart is, therefore, called myogenic.
So, the correct option is 'False'.
