Detailed Solution

SA node can generate maximum number of action potentials to maintain rhythm city of heart.

The SA node is a cluster of autorhythmic fibers located in the heart. These fibers can initiate an action potential (a signal for heart muscle contraction) about every 0.6 seconds or 100 times per minute. This makes the SA node the natural pacemaker of the heart because it generates electrical signals at a faster rate than any other autorhythmic fibers.
The SA node's inherent rate of generating action potentials establishes the fundamental rhythm for heart contractions.
