• SA node ---> AV node ---> Bundle of  His  --> Purkinje fibers 

 Also, there are 3 internodal tracts which extend from the SA node to the AV node.

The sinoatrial node (SA node or SAN) is the impulse generating (pacemaker) tissue located in the right atrium of the heart, and determines the heart rate. It is a group of cells positioned on the wall of the right atrium, near the entrance of the superior vena cava and measures about 10mm x 3mm.
