A

Cholinergic

B

Adrenergic

C

Neurogenic

D

Myogenic

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The muscles of the human heart are stimulated to contract by nerve impulses generated by S.A. node. It is a cluster of cells which are a part of heart muscle.

Fibers which transmits impulses towards the cell body called as:

The A. V node normally initiates the cardiac impulses.

Which one is the correct route through which pulse making impulse travels in the heart

Read the assertion and reson carefully to mark the correct option out of the options given below: Assertion : After hearing a sound, nerve impulse passes from neurons to the brain. Reason: The neurons which pass nerve impulses from the body organ to the brain is called afferent neuron.

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 ?

The correct route through which pulse-making impulse travels in the heart is
