Sinoatrial node therefore cause ischaemia and cell death in the SA node. This can disrupt the electrical pacemaker function of the SA node, and can result in sick sinus syndrome. If the SA node does not function, or the impulse generated in the SA node is blocked before it travels down the electrical conduction system, a group of cells further down the heart will become its pacemaker. The sinoatrial node was first discovered by a young medical student, Martin Flack, in the heart of a mole, whilst his mentor, Sir Arthur Keith, was on a bicycle ride with his wife. They made
Blank node Blank node In RDF, a blank node (also called "bnode") is a node in an RDF graph representing a resource for which a URI or literal is not given. The resource represented by a blank node is also called an anonymous resource. According to the RDF standard a blank node can only be used as subject or object of an RDF triple. Blank nodes can be denoted through blank node identifiers in the following formats, RDF/XML, RDFa, Turtle, N3, N-Triples, and RDFa. The following example shows how it works in RDF/XML. The blank node identifiers are only limited in scope
