SA node has what kind of innervation

A

sympathetic and parasympathetic

affecting both HR and strength of contraction

28

Terminate in purkinje fibers
Intrinsic firing of 20-40 bpm

33
Q

Myocardial muscle tissue is

striated mm fibers with numerous mitochondria
rhythmicity of contraction
fibers contract as a functional unit

34

A

the ability of the ventricle to contract

39
Q
