Sinus Node
Specialized cardiac muscle connected to atrial muscle.
Acts as pacemaker because membrane leaks Na+ and membrane potential is -55 to -60mV
When membrane potential reaches -40 mV, slow Ca++ channels open causing action potential.
After 100-150 msec Ca++ channels close and K+channels open more thus returning membrane potential to -55mV.

SA node 60-80 action potential /min (Pacemaker) AV node 40-60 action potential /min Purkinje 15-40 action potential /min
Conduction Speed SA node: slow speed of conduction Ventricular and Atrial muscle: Moderate speed AV node: slowest speed of conduction Purkinje fibers: Fastest speed of conduction Ectopic Pacemaker- Abnormal site of pacemaker

Pacemaker Function
![Page 22: 1 Conduction System of the Heart Faisal I. Mohammed, MD, PhD](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062223/551b0b7455034607418b4fee/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Sympathetic – increases heart rate by Ca+2 & If channel (net Na+) flow
Parasympathetic – decreases rate by K+ efflux & Ca+2 influx
Autonomic neurotransmitters affect ion flow to change rate
What part of the graph is not changed by autonomic influences?

Regulation of the heart beat
Sympathetic from the cardiac plexus supplies all parts of the heart (atria, ventricle and all parts of the conduction system)
Parasympathetic from Vagus nerves supply mainly the atria, SA and AV nodes, very little supply to ventricles
Sympathetic: increase the permeability of the cardiac cells to Na+ and Ca++ i.e Positive Chronotropic and positive Inotropic action
Parasympathetic: Increase the permeability of the cardiac cells to K+ and decrease its permeability to Na+ and Ca++

Sinus Node is Cardiac Pacemaker
Normal rate of discharge in sinus node is 70-80/min.; A-V node - 40-60/min.; Purkinje fibers - 15-40/min.
Sinus node is pacemaker because of its faster discharge rate
Intrinsic rate of subsequent parts is suppressed by “Overdrive suppression”
![Page 26: 1 Conduction System of the Heart Faisal I. Mohammed, MD, PhD](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062223/551b0b7455034607418b4fee/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
Ectopic Pacemaker
This is a portion of the heart with a more rapid discharge than the sinus node.
Also occurs when transmission from sinus node to A-V node is blocked (A-V block).
![Page 27: 1 Conduction System of the Heart Faisal I. Mohammed, MD, PhD](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062223/551b0b7455034607418b4fee/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Parasympathetic Effects on Heart Rate
Parasympathetic (vagal) nerves, which release acetylcholine at their endings, innervate S-A node and A-V junctional fibers proximal to A-V node.
Causes hyperpolarization because of increased K+ permeability in response to acetylcholine.
This causes decreased transmission of impulses maybe temporarily stopping heart rate.

Sympathetic Effects on Heart Rate
Releases norepinephrine at sympathetic ending
Causes increased sinus node discharge (Chronotropic effect)
Increases rate of conduction of impulse (Dromotropic effect)
Increases force of contraction in atria and ventricles (Inotropic effect)
