Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Cardiac fibers are separated by irregular transverse thickenings of the sarcolemma called interca-lated discs. These discs provide structural support and aid in electrical conduction between fi-bers.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
In combination, the branches of the left coronary artery normally supply most of the left ventri-cle, the left atrium, and the anterior two-thirds of the interventricular septum.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
