Why SA node called pacemaker of heart
stich3 [128]
SA Node<span> which is also known as the sinus node, is the natural pacemaker of the heart. It controls the heart rate by generating electrical impulses and then sending electrical signals through the heart muscle, causing the heart to contract and pump blood throughout the body. </span>

The SA Node is located in the outer layer of the right atrium of the heart, near the superior vena cava. It is made up of a group of cells (myocytes) positioned on the wall of the right atrium, at the center of the heart and near the entrance of the superior vena cava. These cells contract at a rate of about 70-80 times per minute, which make up the natural heart beat.

What is the last structure of the air passageway in your lungs
Rasek [7]

Answer:

Bronchioles

Explanation:

You inhale through your nose and the air is filtered. It goes down the pharynx. It goes through the larynx. A "door" called the epiglottis opens during breathing. Then it enters the trachea. (windpipe) It goes through the bronchus. The tertiary bronchi branch into fine tubules called bronchioles, the last passageways for air. Air ends its pathway in the ________. (I bet you can guess because you're so smart!) They're surrounded by capillaries that connect the pulmonary arteries and veins. This enables the transfer of oxygen and carbon dioxide.

I hope this helped!!! Good luck on the test/quiz/project/homework/etc. you're working on! If you want I can give you a l!nk to the article I used. If not, it's fine too. Have a great day!
