Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Parasympathetic stimulation via the vagus nerve decreases the heart rate. The Valsalva maneuver stimulates the vagus nerve, resulting in a slower pulse rate.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
The pulse is regulated by the autonomic nervous system through the cardiac sinoatrial node. The other anatomic sites may affect, but do not regulate, the pulse rate and force.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. 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.
