Parasympathetic nervous system a healthy heart, the main pacemaker is a collection of cells on the border of the atria and vena cava called the sinoatrial node. Heart cells exhibit automaticity which is the ability to generate electrical activity independent of external stimulation. As a result, the cells of the node spontaneously generate electrical activity that is subsequently conducted throughout the heart, resulting in a regular heart rate. In absence of any external stimuli, sinoatrial pacing contributes to maintain the heart rate in the range of 60-100 beats per minute (bpm). At the same time, the two branches of the autonomic nervous system
Orbital node moves south through the plane. In the case of objects outside the Solar System, the ascending node is the node where the orbiting secondary passes away from the observer, and the descending node is the node where it moves towards the observer. The position of the node may be used as one of a set of parameters, called "orbital elements", which describe the orbit. This is done by specifying the longitude of the ascending node (or, sometimes, the longitude of the node.) The line of nodes is the intersection of the object's orbital plane with the plane of reference. It
