The 'cheek' is the common name for the insect GENA.
The gena is located in the head area of insects. The gena forms the sclerotized area on each side of the head, below the compound eyes, which extends to the gular structure. The gena varies among species of insects.
The main responsible for the delay among the atrial and
ventricular contractions is the action potential conduction velocity of the AV
node cells. If the atria and ventricles contract simultaneously, atria cannot
give any help in filling the ventricles, which is needed, especially in those
with stiff ventricles as in the elderly. Hence atria have to contract first and
then the ventricles.
