Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The slope of phase 0 of the sinoatrial node (pacemaker) is less than those of the atrial, ventricular, and Purkinje fiber action potentials, and the former often is referred to as a slow action potential, whereas the latter are called fast action potentials.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The action potential begins when the cell membrane of the excitable cell is exposed to a depolar-izing current and eventually reaches its excitation threshold potential. This is known as depolari-zation.
