Why do we call our heart myogenic?

Here's the Answer

The heart of molluscs and vertebrates including humans is myogenic. It means heart beat is initiated in heart itself by a patch of modified heart muscle called sino-atrial node or pacemaker which lies in the wall of the right atrium near the opening of the superior vena cava.

$<body bgcolor=black> <font color=yellow> Contractions in the human heart (situated in the inside of the thoracic cavity) are triggered by a specialized altered muscle of the heart referred to as the sinoatrial node which is positioned in the right atrium. The SA node has the inherent capability to generate a wave of contraction and also controls the heartbeat which is why it is termed as the pacemaker. As the heartbeat is triggered by the sinoatrial node, and impulse of contraction originates in the heart, the human heart is known as myogenic. Molluscs and some other vertebrates also have myogenic hearts. </font>$
