IMO, and I could be wrong, but the drive from Minn/St Paul, other than the Mall of America in Minneapolis, has nothing of interest until you get to the Badlands, Custer STate Park, Crazy HOrse, Mt Rushmore area. Deadwood SD for a day and night, I found to be of interest.
Sinoatrial node is located at the junction of the superior vena cava with the right atrium.
The Conduction System (illustration) Electrical impulses from your heart muscle (the myocardium) cause your heart to contract. This electrical signal begins in the sinoatrial (SA) node, located at the top of the right atrium. The SA node is sometimes called the heart's natural pacemaker.. An electrical impulse from this natural pacemaker travels through the muscle fibers of the atria and ventricles, causing them to contract.
