[A study of synchronization of the sinus unit upon stimulation from auricles].
The excitation of the sinoatrial unit from heart auricles of the frog has been studied. Potentials were recorded by means of microelectrodes inserted to pacemaker of the sinoatrial unit. It has been established that auricles can impart the rhythm to the sinoatrial unit due to electric and electromechanical influence, and electromechanical influence is of greater significance. Specific transitions accompanying the establishment of the stationary rhythm have been studied. A mathematical model of transitions of the establishment of the rhythm of the sinoatrial unit, which is based on diophant methods is offered. The catculations performed by means of the mathematical model coincide well with results of experimental studies. The stabilizing role of auricles in the formation of the rhythm of the sinoatrial unit has been established.
