Sinoatrial nodal artery variant in approximately 10% of human hearts. This artery is larger than normal and supplies a good part of the left atrium, but also right sided structures like part of the sinoatrial node and the atrioventricular nodal areas. In this variant, the artery courses in the sulcus between the left superior pulmonary vein and the left atrial appendage where it could be susceptible to injury during catheter or surgical ablation procedures on the left atrium, especially for atrial fibrillation ablation or open heart cardiac surgery. Sinoatrial nodal artery The sinoatrial nodal artery (or sinuatrial nodal artery or sinoatrial artery) is
Node (circuits) 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, there are some notable exceptions where the voltage difference is large enough to become significant:
