It is made up of a group of cells (myocytes) positioned on the wall of the right atrium‚ at the center of the heart and near the entrance of the superior vena cava. The sinoatrial node coordinates beating of all four chambers of the heart. It stands to reason that this coordination would begin in the first chamber involved and travel to the rest in sequence. 3.

the cusps to the papillary muscles protruding from the ventricular walls. When the heart is completely relaxed‚ the AV valve flaps hang limply into the ventricular chambers below & blood flows into the atria and then thru the open AV valves into the ventricles. When the ventricles contracts‚ compressing the blood in their chambers‚ the intraventricular pressure rises‚ forcing the blood superiorly against the valve flaps. As a result‚ the flap edges meet‚ closing the valve. 1b)
