Answer:

The correct answer is "the SA node".

Explanation:

The heart beat is triggered by electrical impulses and among them, the sinoatrial node (SA node) is the one that receives the name of the “pacemaker” of the heart. The impulse of the SA node begins with a bundle in the right atrium, which spreads through the walls of the atria and causes a contraction. The SA node is the principal factor that affects the rate and rhythm of the heartbeat.

<span>The answer is a fecal occult blood test (FOBT) that checks for hidden (occult) blood in the stool (feces) by use of a microscope.  The major disadvantage is that it is not very accurate because it is not a 100% reliable as an indicator of colorectal cancer.
