conducting system of heart

Preferred Label : conducting system of heart;

Uberon definition : The cardiac conduction system consists of specialized cardiomyocytes that regulate the frequency of heart beat[GO];

Uberon synonym : cardiac conducting system; cardiac impulse conducting system; heart conduction system; cardionector; cardiac conduction system; impulse conducting system;

Uberon related term : central conduction system;

Uberon Homology note : The fish heart displays clear polarity of contraction in a posterior-to-anterior direction. The contraction waves originate in the sinus venosus and terminate in the conus arteriosus. The nodal phenotype persists in the inflow region of the heart, varying from the venosinus to the sinoatrial junctional areas in different species . Similar to the mammalian situation, pacemaker tissue with a lower intrinsic rhythmicity is also found at the atrioventricular junction.[uncertain][VHOG];
