Pacemaker is situated in the

  1. Wall of right atrium

  2. Interauricular septum

  3. Interventricular septum

  4. Wall of left atrium


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
The actual structure that serves as the heart's primary pacemaker is called the sinoatrial node (SA node). The SA node is a little bundle of cells located in the wall of the right atrium, the small upper chamber on the right side of the heart.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Wall of right atrium.'

The pacemaker of heart is

  1. Foramen ovale

  2. Sinoatrial node

  3. Ductus arteriosus

  4. Bundle of His

  5. Vagus nerve


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Electrical impulses from the heart muscle cause your heart to beat (contract). This electrical signal begins in the sinoatrial (SA) node, located at the top of the heart's upper-right chamber (the right atrium). The SA node is sometimes called the heart's“natural pacemaker.”

So, the correct option is 'Sino-atrial node'.

Rate of heart beat is determined by

  1. Purkinje fibres

  2. Papillary muscles

  3. AV-node

  4. SA-node


Correct Option: D

The heart beat is initiated and regulated by nodal tissue made of specialised cardiac muscles called

  1. Spongy tissue

  2. Purkinje tissue

  3. Alveolar tissue

  4. None of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Purkinje tissue is influenced by electrical discharge from the sinoatrial node. During the ventricular contraction portion of the cardiac cycle, the Purkinje fibres carry the contraction impulse from both the left and right bundle branch to the myocardium of the ventricles. In this way these fibres control and initiate heart beat.

So, the correct option is B. ( Purkinje tissue )

The action potential is conducted from the atria to ventricles by:

  1. Purkinje fibre

  2. SA node and AVN

  3. Bundle of his and SAN

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
  • Sino-atrial node (SA node) is located the right upper corner of the right atrium and AVN(AV node) is located in the lower-left corner of the right atrium close to the atrioventricular septum.
  • The SAN can generate the maximum number of action potentials, i.e., $70-75 min^{–1}$, and is responsible for initiating and maintaining the rhythmic contractile activity of the heart. Therefore, it is called the pacemaker. From the SA node, the action potential is conducted from the atria to ventricles by AVN.
  • Hence the action potential is conducted from the atria to ventricles via SA node and AVN.
  • So, the correct answer is 'SA node and AVN'.

Sinoatrial node (SAN) is located at

  1. Right upper corner of right atrium

  2. Right Lower lower corner of right atrium

  3. Right upper corner of left atrium

  4. Left upper corner of right atrium


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The sinoatrial node is present at the right upper corner of the right atrium. The node is present below the Vena Cava. It initiates the autonomous contraction of the heart muscles.

So, the correct option is 'Right upper corner of right atrium'.

If a person is undergoing artificial pacemaker transplant then at which of the following structure the transplantation occurs?

  1. SA node

  2. AV node

  3. SA bundles

  4. Right ventricle


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
  • Heart's sinus node (SA node) is our natural pacemaker (located in the upper right chamber of the heart).
  • It sends an electrical impulse to produce the heartbeat.
  • The job of a pacemaker is to artificially take over the role of your sinus node if it isn't working properly.
  • So, the correct answer is 'SA node'.

Natural pacemaker of heart is?

  1. SA node or Sinuatrial node

  2. AV node or Auriculoventricular node

  3. Helpful in initiation of cardiac impulse

  4. Both $(1)$ & $(3)$ are correct


Correct Option: A

Which of the following is called pacemaker?

  1. AV node

  2. Bundle of His

  3. SA node

  4. Purkinje fibres


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The heart muscle's electrical impulses cause the heart to beat. This electrical signal starts at the Sinoatrial (SA) node at the top of the upper-right chamber of the heart. Sometimes the SA node is called the "natural pacemaker" of the heart.The SA node sends electrical impulses at some level, but depending on physical requirements, stress, or hormonal variables, heart rate may still alter.  It causes the upper chambers of the heart (the atria) to contract when an electrical impulse is released from this natural pacemaker. Then the signal travels to AV node and then to the bundle of HIs resulting in ventricular contraction.

So, the correct answer is 'SA node'

Where is the pacemaker situated?

  1. In left auricle near opening of pulmonary vein

  2. In right auricle near eustachian valve

  3. On inter-auricular septum

  4. On inter-ventricular septum


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Sino-atrial node is the natural pacemaker of the heart. These are a group of small, flattened and ellipsoid strip cardiac muscle fiber situated in the upper lateral wall of the right atrium near the Eustachian valve (valve of the inferior vena cava).

So, the correct answer is option B.

Pacemaker influences

  1. Contraction of heart muscles

  2. Flow of blood in heart

  3. Rate of heart beat

  4. Formation of nerve impulse


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A specialised cardiac musculature, called as the nodal tissue is distributed in the heart. A patch of this tissue is present in the right upper corner of the right atrium, called as the sino-atrial node (SAN). 

The nodal musculature has the ability to generate action potentials without any external stimuli, i.e., it is auto excitable. The SAN can generate the maximum number of action potentials, i.e., 70 - 75 beats/min and is responsible for initiating and maintaining the rhythmic contractile activity of the heart. Therefore, it is called as the pacemaker of heart.

The heartbeat is regulated by a small node of cardiac muscles called

  1. Pericardium

  2. Ventricle

  3. Tricuspid valve

  4. Pacemaker


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A small node of specialized tissue is located int he upper right corner of right ventricle called as SA node. It is known as natural pacemaker of heart as it is responsible for initiation and regulation of heart beat. 

In the heart of frog, which of the following is considered as the pacemaker?

  1. Pylangium

  2. Synangium

  3. Truncus

  4. Sinus venosus


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

In amphibians, such as the frog, the pacemaker is the sinus venosus, an enlarged region between the vena cava and the right atrium. The venae cavae do not open directly into the auricles but into another chamber, the sinus venosus, which drains into the right auricle.

Malleus is hammer like bone of the middle ear. 

SA node is called as pacemaker of the heart that sets the beat. 
Leucocytes are WBCs and lymphocytes are B and T cells. 
Hemophilia is a blood disorder.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.

An artificial pacemaker is implanted subcutaneously and connected to the heart in patients

  1. Having 90% blockage of the three main coronary arteries

  2. Having a very high blood pressure

  3. With irregularity in the heart rhythm

  4. Suffering from arteriosclerosis


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
An artificial pacemaker is implanted subcutaneously and connected to the heart in patients with irregularity in the heart rhythm. It is implanted in the region of SA node which regulates the heartbeat. Sinoatrial node is known as the pacemaker of the heart. It helps in the generation and conduction of heartbeat. It is located in the walls of the right atria just below the opening of superior vena cava. The sympathetic nerves release the neurotransmitters and activate the SA node and generate electric impulse which is conducted as heartbeat throughout the heart. 
So, the correct answer is option C.

The cardiac pacemaker in a patient fails to function normally. The doctors find that an artificial pacemaker is to be grafted in him. It is likely that it will be grafted at the site of

  1. Sinoatrial node

  2. Atrioventricular node

  3. Atrioventricular bundle

  4. Purkinje system


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Sinoatrial node is known as pacemaker of the heart. It helps in the generation and conduction of heart beat. It is located in the walls of the right atria just below the opening of superior venacva. The sympathetic nerves release the neurotransmitters and activates the SA node and generates electric impulse which is conducted as heart beat through out the heart. 

When the cardiac pacemaker in a patient fails to function normally a artificial pacemaker is implanted at the site of SA node. It is a medical device which uses electrical impulse, generated by electrodes to contract the heart muscles, and regulate the heart beat.
So, the correct answer is option A.

Function of SA node is to ensure

  1. Muscular pain

  2. Contraction of lungs

  3. Heart beat

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The entire heart is made of cardiac muscles. A specialized cardiac musculature called the nodal tissue is also distributed in the heart i.e sino-atrial node (SAN- A patch of this tissue is present in the right upper corner of the right atrium ). The nodal musculature has the ability to generate action potentials without any external stimuli, i.e., it is autoexcitable. Hence function of the SA node is to ensure heartbeat.

So, the correct answer is 'Heartbeat'.

Mark the correct match.

  1. Malleus - Anvil

  2. SA node - Pacemaker

  3. Leucocytes - Lymphocytes

  4. Haemophilia - Blood cancer


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
A. Malleus is known as hammer bone and is the largest ear ossicles.
B. SA node is known as pacemaker. It initiates and maintains the rhythmic contraction of heart.
C. Leucocytes are white blood cells. Lymphocytes are agranular leucocytes i.e. white blood cells which do not contain granules. They are a type of white blood cells.
D. Haemophilia is a genetic disorder in which blood doesn't clot due to deficiency of coagulation factor. 
Hence, option B is a correct match.
So, the correct answer is 'SA node - Pacemaker'.

Pacemaker is situated in heart

  1. In the wall of right atrium

  2. On interauricular septum

  3. On interventricular septum

  4. In the wall of left atrium


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Pace maker is Sinoatrial or SA node situated in the upper corner of wall of right atrium in heart. It initiates and maintains the rhythmic contraction of heart. Excitation waves begin in SA node due to which atria contract and the oxygenated and deoxygenated blood is forced into respective ventricles through atrioventricular valves. It acts as stimulus for the next wave of excitation and thus, maintains the frequency of heart beat.
So, the correct answer is 'In the wall of right atrium'.

State whether the following statements are true or false.
A  pacemaker is a tiny computerised electrical device that is implanted in -a patients body to regulate the brain activity.

  1. True

Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A pacemaker is a tiny battery run instrument placed near to the heart of a patient for generation impulses similar to the SA node for the rhythmic functioning of the heart

So, the correct answer is 'False'

Which of the following is the correct pathway for propagation of cardiac impulse?

  1. SA node $\rightarrow$ AV node $\rightarrow$ Bundle of His $\rightarrow$ Purkinje fibres

  2. AV node $\rightarrow$ Bundle of His $\rightarrow$ SA node $\rightarrow$ Purkinje fibres

  3. SA node $\rightarrow$ Purkinje fibres $\rightarrow$ AV node $\rightarrow$ Bundle of His

  4. Purkinje fibres $\rightarrow$ AV node $\rightarrow$ SA node $\rightarrow$ Bundle of His.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Cardiac impulse generates from SA node then it reaches to AV node, then to bundle of HIS and finally to Purkinje fibers, this is how the cardiac impulse is generated.

So, the correct option is 'SA node 
 AV node  Bundle of His  Purkinje fibers'.

What happens when the pacemaker becomes nonfunctional?

  1. Only auricles contract rhythmically

  2. Only ventricles contract rhythmically

  3. Cardiac muscles do not undergo co-ordinated rhythmic movements

  4. Auricles and ventricles contract rhythmically


Correct Option: C

An artificial pacemaker is implanted subcutaneously and connected to the heart in patients

  1. Having 90% blockage of the three main coronary arteries

  2. Having a very high blood pressure

  3. With irregularity in the heart rhythm

  4. Suffering from arteriosclerosis


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Pacemaker serves to produce rhythmic impulses for the heart beat. The sinoatrial node (SA) node serves as a pacemaker and is a small mass of specialized cardiac muscle. It is present in the posterior wall of the right atrium near the opening of superior vena cava. 

When the natural pacemaker is defective, the heartbeat may be too fast, too slow or irregular. Artificial pacemakers are electronic devices that stimulate the heart with electrical impulses to maintain or restore a normal rhythm in people with slow heart rhythms. An artificial pacemaker provides an electrical impulse (discharge) that can stimulate the heart, thus restoring or maintaining a regular heartbeat. 
So, the correct answer is option C.

The 'cardiac pacemaker' in a patient fails to function normally. The doctors find that an 'artificial pacemaker' is to be grafted in him. It is likely that it will be grafted at the site 

  1. Purkinje fibres

  2. Under the clavicle

  3. Atrioventricular node

  4. Bundle of His


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
Sinoatrial (SA) node is the natural pacemaker of the heart. It generates the nerve impulses needed for heart contraction. When the SA node stops functioning, an artificial pacemaker should be implanted for proper conduction of impulse.
The artificial pacemaker is implanted inside the skin under the clavicle. In this, a vein is incised with the insertion of electrode lead through the valve of heart.
So, the correct answer is option B.
