1. The ability of the heart to generate and automaticity
conduct electrical impulses on its own.
2. ability to respond to stimuli excitability
3. hearts ability to allow heat or electric conductivity
charges to flow.
4. pacemaker of the heart, 60-100 bpm SA node
5. atrioventricular node, 40-60 bpm AV node
6. fibers that carry stimulation throughout purkinje fibers
