Which structure in heart is called pacemaker?

Open in App
Solution

The bundle of myocardial tissue called sino-atrial node present in the right atrium that is responsible for generating the impulse for contraction is called the pacemaker of the heart. It then forwards the impulse to the atrioventricular node from which the impulse is distributed to the ventricles by Purkinje fibres via Bundle of His.
