Sinoatrial nodal artery posterior aspect of the interatrial septum. The origin of the sinoatrial node artery is not related to coronary artery dominance, which means the side (right or left) that provides the circulation to the back of the heart. In contrast, the atrioventricular nodal branch, that is the artery that brings blood to the atrioventricular node, depends on coronary artery dominance. The sinoatrial node surrounds the sinoatrial artery, which can run centrally (in 70% of individuals) or off center within the node. A left S-shaped sinoatrial artery, originating from the proximal left circumflex or LCx artery, has been described as a common
Node (circuits) Dots used to mark nodes on a circuit diagram are sometimes referred to as "meatballs". Node (circuits) In electrical engineering, a node is any point on a circuit where the terminals of two or more circuit elements meet. In circuit diagrams, connections are ideal wires with zero resistance, so a node may consist of the entire section of wire between elements, not just a single point. According to Ohm's law, "V = IR", the voltage across any two points of a node with negligible resistance is showing that the voltage at every point of a node is the same. However,
