What is an artificial pacemaker? Explain.
Answers
Answer:
Artificial pacemaker: A device that uses electrical impulses to regulate the heart rhythm or reproduce it. An internal pacemaker is one in which the electrodes to the heart, the electronic circuitry, and the power supply are all implanted internally, within the body.
Answer:
The body heart has a natural pacemaker in the form of a Sino atrial node. When this node malfunctions or is unable to perform any activity, the heart does not get the rhythm to pump blood.
Thus an artificial pacemaker is installed in the body for proper pumping of blood.
Pacemaker can also be defined in scientific terms as a medical device that generates electrical impulses delivered by electrodes to contract the heart muscles and regulate the electrical conduction system of the heart.
