Yeah, myocytes generate those electrical impulses!

Wait, are you sure it's not epithelial cells? That sounds weird.

I’m pretty certain it’s not epithelial or Merkel cells, but I’m a bit confused about the role of myocytes versus other types.

Glial cells seem to be related to the nervous system, but I don't think they control heart rate.

I remember learning about the cells that generate the heart's electrical impulses, but I'm drawing a blank right now. I'll have to review my notes before answering this one.

Okay, I know the heart's electrical system is controlled by specialized cells, so I'm guessing it's either A or B. I'll eliminate the other options and focus on those two.

My money's on the myocytes. Although, if this was a trick question, I bet the answer would be glial cells. They're always throwing curveballs like that, aren't they?

Myocytes, for sure. It's like the easiest question on this exam. Unless you're trying to trick us, and it's actually Merkel cells or something crazy like that.
