Chapter 21, Problem 1RC
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Human heart refers to one of the vital organs which comprises four chambers having two each, ventricles and atrium. The heart receives the blood which lacks in oxygen and sends the blood to the lungs in order to get oxygenated and then the heart sends out blood rich in oxygen to other parts of the body.
Correct answer:
The sinus node dysfunction reduces the heartbeat.

What would happen to the heart rate if some stimulus causes the blood pressure to decrease?
Explain how sinoatrial node functions in the heartbeat action
Why must this change occur? (in reference to how does the heart rate differ before and after exercise?)
