The thick muscular projections on the walls of the ventricle are called

The sino-atrial node is the normal pacemaker of the human heart because:
1. | It is located in the right atrium. |
2. | It is the only part of the conducting system that can generate impulse. |
3. | It can generate the maximum number of action potentials in the conducting system. |
4. | It produces action potentials that are more in size than the other parts of the conducting system. |
