Assertion : The AV node is also called as the pacemaker of the heart. Reasoning : It is because of the fact that the AV node determines the rate of heartbeat.

The time taken by the impulse to travel through atria, AV node, and the rest of conducting tissue is

Assertion: SA node malfunctioning leads to disturbance of Heart rat Reason: SA node is the pacemaker of heart producing electric impulse for heart contraction

Assertion : The sino-atrial node (SAN) is called the pacemaker. Reason : SAN is responsible for initiating and maintaining the rhythmic contractile activity of the heart.

Assertion : Sino-atrial node (SAN) is called the pacemaker Reason : SAN generates the maximum number of action potentials and is responsible for intiating and maintaining the rhythmic contractions of the heart.

Assertion : The AV bundle is essential for the conduction of cardiac impulse. Reason: There is no continuity between the cardiac muscle fibers of the auricles and those of the ventricles.

Assertion :- In a myelinated nerve fibre the impulse jumps from one node of Ranvier to the other. Reason:- Exchange of ions takes place only at node of Ranvier.

Go through the following statements (i) Vagus nerve decreases the rate of impulse formation from the SA node and its conduction (ii) As the human heart is myogenic in nature, the rate of formation and conduction of cariac impulse cannot be changed by the action of nerves (iii) The end of T-wave in ECG marks the end of systole. (iv) If the P-wave in ECG is inverted , it indicates that SA node fails to initiate impulse and the atrial muscle depolarises by the impulse originating in A.V. node. Whic of these are correct ?

Assertion : An artificial pacemaker can replace the SA node of heart. Reasoning : This is because an artificial pacemaker is capable of stimulating the heart electrically to maintain its beats.

Since it is the sino-auricular node, which initiates the impulses in the heart of mammal is called
