    SA is the site of generation of the rhythmic cardiac impulse. AV node is a compact mass of myogenic fibres which receives impulse from SA node and transmits it to ventricles. Purkinje fibres are in contact with the contractile muscles of the ventricular walls. Chordae tendinae are the muscles which keep the AV valves in position.

    Haemophilia is a sex linked disease (linked with X chromosomes). In this disease, blood lacks the thromboplastin protein which causes blood clotting during injury. In normal human, blood clots in 2-6 min. While in haemophilic human, it may take from 3 hrs to 24 hrs due to which death may occur. This disease was Ist discovered by Jon Catto in 1803. The most famous families in which the inheritance of this disease was found were the Royal families of Britain & Russia, so it is also called Royal disease.
