Identify the correct statement with respect to the following diagram.
Options
- AA is a Sino-atrial node (SAN) present in the upper right corner of the right atrium.
- BB is Sino-atrial node (SAN) present in the right upper corner of the left atrium.
- CA is a atrio-ventricular node (AVN) present in the right upper corner of the right atrium.
- DC is Bundle of His emerging from Sino-atrial nodes (SAN).
Correct answer
A. A is a Sino-atrial node (SAN) present in the upper right corner of the right atrium.
Step-by-step solution
The entire heart is made of cardiac muscles. The walls of ventricles are much thicker than that of the atria. A specialised cardiac musculature called the nodal tissue is also distributed in the heart . A patch of this tissue is present in the right upper corner of the right atrium called the sino-atrial node (SAN). Another mass of this tissue is seen in the lower left corner of the right atrium close to the atrio-ventricular septum called the atrio-ventricular node (AVN). A bundle of nodal fibres, atrio- ventricul
