Specialty Definition: SINUS NODE

DomainDefinition

Medicine

Body part that serves to establish and maintain a rhythmic activity ; a small mass of tissue made up of fibers, ganglion cells embedded in the musculature of the right auricle of higher vertegrates serving as a pacemaker to the heart. Source: European Union. (references)
 Area of the cardiac tissue located at the junction of the superior vena cava with the right atrium. It is the normal cardiac pacemaker, its rate of discharge determining the rate at which the heart beats. Impulses generated in the SA node pass through the atrial pathways to the AV node, through this node to the bundle of His, and through the branches of the bundle of His, via the Purkinje system, to the ventricular muscle [VE1].
