MeSH Heading: Sinoatrial Node
Tree Number(s): A07.541.409.819
Unique ID: D012849
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D012849
Scope Note: The small mass of modified cardiac muscle fibers located at the junction of the superior vena cava (VENA CAVA, SUPERIOR) and right atrium. Contraction impulses probably start in this node, spread over the atrium (HEART ATRIUM) and are then transmitted by the atrioventricular bundle (BUNDLE OF HIS) to the ventricle (HEART VENTRICLE).
Entry Term(s): Sino-Atrial Node; Sinu-Atrial Node; Sinuatrial Node; Sinus Node
