Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Any part of the conduction system can spontaneously start an impulse, but the sinoatrial (SA) node normally has the fastest rate of automaticity and therefore the faster rate of spontaneous impulse formation. The SA node is located in the right atrium. The brain does not initiate the electrical signal. Conduction does not exclusively follow blood vessels.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Metabolic syndrome is noted when the patient has elevated waist circumference, elevated triglycerides, reduced high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, elevated blood pressure, and elevated fasting glucose. Elevated triglyceride level and reduced high-density lipoprotein cholesterol are not indicative of arthritic syndrome. Reye's syndrome is marked by acute encephalopathy and seen in children under the age of 15 years after an acute viral infection. Tay-Sachs is a genetic disease characterized by neurological deterioration in the first year of life.
