how does our heart muscle move without manual control from ourselves?
In: 4
Normal muscles wait for signals from the brain before they contract, but in simple terms, the heart generates those signals itself. There’s a region of the heart called the SA node, which is just constantly flipping between “off” and “on”. Each time it flips on, it sends the signal across the heart, causing the cells to contract and therefore producing one “beat”.
