Sinoatrial node Ca into the cell), and the activation of potassium channels, which allows the flow of K out of the cell, making the membrane potential more negative. Heart rate depends on the rate at which the sinoatrial node produces action potentials. At rest, heart rate is between 60 and 100 beats per minute. This is a result of the activity of two sets of nerves, one acting to slow down action potential production (these are parasympathetic nerves) and the other acting to speed up action potential production (sympathetic nerves). The sympathetic nerves begin in the thoracic region of the spinal cord
Node graph architecture Node graph architecture Node graph architecture is a type of software design which builds around modular node components which can be connected to form a graph. Often the software's underlying node graph architecture is also exposed to the end user as a two-dimensional visualization of the node graph. The node graph architecture is popular in the film and computer games industry. There are often many different node types participating in the node graph. For example, in the Nuke Manual they list hundreds of nodes. Each node type performs one specific task. For example, Nuke's Merge node produces an output image
