Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The PR interval represents the onset of atrial activation to the onset of ventricular activity. The P wave represents atrial depolarization. The QRS complex represents ventricular depolarization. The QT interval represents electrical systole of the ventricles.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Stimulation of the SA node by the sympathetic nervous system rapidly increases cardiac conduc-tion. Stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system would increase myocardial contraction and heart rate. Such simulation would not affect conduction time within the node. These are inherent rates.
