Sinoatrial node the discovery in a makeshift laboratory set up in a picturesque farmhouse in Kent, England, called Mann's Place. Their discovery was published in 1907. Sinoatrial node The sinoatrial node (SA node), also known as sinus node, is a group of cells located in the wall of the right atrium of the heart. These cells have the ability to spontaneously produce an electrical impulse (action potential; see below for more details), that travels through the heart via the electrical conduction system (see figure 1) causing it to contract. In a healthy heart, the SA node continuously produces action potential, setting the
Lunar node about 0.94901 Gregorian year, as do descending-node eclipses. The nodes are called by different names in different areas of the world. In ancient European texts, the ascending node is referred to as the dragon's head ("Caput Draconis", or "Anabibazon"). Its symbol is , the astronomical and astrological symbol for the dragon's head. By the same analogy, the descending node is also known as the dragon's tail ("Cauda Draconis", or "Catabibazon"), and its symbol is the inversion of that of the ascending node: .
