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.
