Short Answer Type
Long Answer TypeShort Answer TypeWhy do we call our heart myogenic?
In the human heart, the contraction is initiated by a special modified heart muscle known as sinoatrial node or the SA-node. It is located in the right atrium. The SA node has the inherent power of generating a wave of contraction and controlling the heart beat. Hence, it is known as the pacemaker. Since the heart beat is initiated by the SA node and the impulse of contraction originates in the heart itself, the human heart is termed myogenic. The hearts of vertebrates and molluscs are also myogenic.
