produce electrical pulses
Contains "pacemaker" cells that create heart contractions
Creates a heart beat

Blood Flow
Circulates through two pathways
Pulmonary and Systematic

Healthy heart contraction in 5 stages
Early diastole
Atrial systole
Contraction without volume change and continue when empty
Stop contracting
Repeat

Valves keep blood flow in one direction
