The correct answer is: SA node
The SA node (sino-atrial node) is a specialised nodal cardiac tissue which is present in the right upper corner of right atrium. It can generate the maximum number of actionpotentials i.e.70-75 per min, and is responsible for initiating and maintaining rhythmic contractile activity of the heart.
