The sino-atrial node is the normal pacemaker of the human heart because:
| 1. | It is located in the right atrium. | 
| 2. | It is the only part of the conducting system that can generate impulse. | 
| 3. | It can generate the maximum number of action potentials in the conducting system. | 
| 4. | It produces action potentials that are more in size than the other parts of the conducting system. |
