D)interventricular septum.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An ectopic pacemaker refers to any part of the heart other than the SA node that takes over as the pacemaker, initiating electrical impulses that cause the heart to beat. This can happen due to disease or injury to the SA node, or it can occur naturally in some people. Options A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not refer to the specific location in the heart where an ectopic pacemaker may occur. Heart block refers to a condition in which the electrical signals between the atria and ventricles are delayed or blocked, while the intrinsic conduction system refers to the natural electrical system within the heart that coordinates its contractions. The interventricular septum is a wall that separates the two ventricles of the heart.
