Sinoatrial node is influenced by nerves that supply it. The sinoatrial node is a banana-shaped structure that varies in size, usually between 10-30 millimeters (mm) long, 5–7 mm wide, and 1–2 mm deep. The SA node is located in the wall (myocardium) of the right atrium, laterally to the entrance of the superior vena cava in a region called the sinus venarum (hence "sino-" + "atrial)". It is positioned roughly between a groove called the crista terminalis located on the internal surface of the heart and the corresponding sulcus terminalis, on the external surface. These grooves run between the entrance of the
Sentinel node list, can be simplified remarkably using a sentinel node to demarcate the beginning and end of the list. Following is a Python implementation of a circular doubly-linked list: Notice how the codice_13 method takes the node that will be displaced by the new node in the parameter codice_14. For appending to the left, this is the head of a non-empty list, while for appending to right, it is the tail. But because of how the linkage is setup to refer back to the sentinel, the code just works for empty lists as well, where codice_14 will be the sentinel node.
