<h2>ANSWER:</h2>

It controls the heart rate by producing electrical impulses

<h2>EXPLANATION:</h2>

It controls the heart rate by producing electrical impulses and later transmitting electrical signals through the heart muscle, creating the heart to contract and pump blood everywhere into the body. The heartbeat originates from the S.A. node and expands to the walls of auricles which contract.

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.

When neurons are not producing electrical signals
balu736 [363]

When neurons are not producing electrical signals we say that they are at resting phase: voltage across their membrane is called the resting membrane potential, or the resting potential.

This potential is determined by the concentration of ions (Na, K) across the membrane and by membrane permeability to each type of ion. While the ions move through channels down their gradients they lead to a separation of charge and that is what creates the resting potential.

The membrane of the neuron is much more permeable for K ions so the resting potential is close to the equilibrium potential of K+.
