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.
With each heartbeat, an electrical signal spreads from the top of your heart to the bottom. As the signal travels, it causes the heart to contract and pump blood. Each electrical signal normally begins in a group of cells called the sinus node or sinoatrial (SA) node. As the signal spreads from the top of the heart to the bottom, it coordinates the timing of heart cell activity. First, the heart's two upper chambers, the atria (AY-tree-uh), contract.
