Solution

The correct option is A A
A. A
EXPLANATION: SA node has unique property of self excitation. Self excitation enables SA node to act like the pacemaker of heart. It continuously initiates waves of contraction, which spreads over both the auricles. When excitation signals reach the atrioventricular node, the signal is delayed and then it is conducted into the bundle of His.
