Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
When an ECG is recorded, the paper speed is set at 25 mm/s, the equivalent of 1500 mm/min.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The sinoatrial node , as well as the atrioventricular node, normally have action potentials that differ from those of other excitable cells of the heart. Depolarization of the sinoatrial node initi-ates the heartbeat by triggering a wave of excitation that spreads through the right and left atria as it moves toward the atrioventricular node.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
