SA nodal cells are unique in that they exhibit autorhythmicity, meaning they are capable of depolarizing and firing an action potential spontaneously without any external influence.

1. True
2. False

Respuesta :

Answer:

1) True

Explanation:

Cells of Sinoatrial (SA) node make up the auto rhythmic cells of heart as in normal physiological conditions , SA-node is responsible to set the pace of the rest of the heart (pacemaker) at a rate of 70 to 80 beats per minute.

The cells of SA node has the ability to self-excite thus able to generate action potential without external stimulation by nerve cells. Thus they initiate the cardiac cycle providing the conduction system.

Hence the statement , SA nodal cells are unique in that they exhibit autorhythmicity, meaning they are capable of depolarizing and firing an action potential spontaneously without any external influence, is true.
