Producing red blood cells for oxygen transport
Regulating the body's temperature
Converting carbon dioxide into oxygen
Delaying the electrical impulse to allow the atria to contract before the ventricles (correct)

Pulmonary artery

Study Notes

Cardiovascular System Functions

The primary function of the sinoatrial (SA) node is to act as the heart's natural pacemaker, generating electrical impulses that stimulate the heartbeat.

Cardiac Conduction System

The atrioventricular (AV) node relays the electrical signal from the SA node, delaying it for a fraction of a second to allow the atria to fully contract before stimulating the ventricles.

Blood Circulation

The pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart's left atrium.
